So, i actually redid the first 52 boxes because they weren't really clear and super weird. I know that the exercises do not need to be pretty, but they were just completely wrong and so i thought that would be the best if i just redo them.
And i think that as the challenge advanced, my boxes got worse and worse.
Congrats on finishing the challenge!
In the future you'll probably be called out by redoing exercises, as this counts as grinding. A better thing to do would be to pause, look for feedback, think through the problem/critique your own work, and then continue doing the recommended amount of pages. The discord server is a good place to receive feedback on partial submissions.
Convergences - A lot of lines are parallel or diverging, which never happens in 3-point perspective. You might want to practice some boxes that are very foreshortened so you can really tell the lines are converging. You may have also extended the lines the wrong way in some boxes, like in box 241. Always extend away from the Y, add arrows to your Y if you need. Lastly, I want to note that lines that start farther from the VP will have a steeper slope than the line coming off of the Y. Each line has its own slope you have to figure out, so don't make them parallel!
Inner corner - Remember the angles of the inner corner will also be above 90 degrees. The lines that come off the inner corner will also be nearly parallel to the lines of the original Y. Keep this in mind so that these lines don't diverge or converge too quickly. It can be tricky to get the hang of for awhile. This diagram may help. This ordering may also help.
Other - Draw bigger boxes! More like #151. It's harder to see your mistakes on a small box. Also good job with your hatching and linework.
Good job - you can continue improving by adding this to your regular warm-ups!

Lesson 2
Thank you very much for your review! I was kind of confused and unsure with the extending lines, so thanks for the tips.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
