Hey, sht. Good job overall.
You started with some wobbly lines, but managed to improve throughout the challenge. Nicely done. You still seem to struggle with that inner corner. Some people prefer to tackle it right after the initial Y and it seems to work for them. In my case, placing all dots before any line helped me as well, as I would create the "structure" of the box and could identify any major perspective mistake and correct it before drawing any lines. Don't be afraid of trying different construction methods, as long as they help you achieve your goals.
I feel that sometimes your shading is a bit sloppy and in some cases its lines arch a bit. Be sure to treat those lines as any other and draw them from the shoulder .
Anyway, well done in this challenge. Keep up the good work.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
The Art of Brom
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
