Lookin good so far, but it appears you forgot to upload your boxes after 190. Just reply to this comment with the rest and I'll give your critique once they're all accounted for.
Next Steps:
Upload the rest please.
I've added the images again... sorry about that.
No problem, mistakes happen.
Good thing you we got you to submit the rest though, from box 200 onwards you hit your stride and show a lot of improvement from your first few boxes.
You've become much more consistent with your convergences and overall your boxes are looking much more solid. Your general linework has tidied up and improved as well, especially in your hatching.
Overall you showed quite a bit of improvement through the entire challenge and you deserve to pat yourself on the back for having the will power to get through the entire thing. You may have noticed it during the challenge intuitively but you may find this diagram helpful, it shows how each line relates to one another and how the 2 outer lines will vary more extremely in their convergences. Remember that as a vanishing point moves further from the box the pairs of lines in each set will become closer to parallel, the 2 inner lines will reach this state earlier than the outer pair.
Remember to keep doing previous exercises as warm ups and good luck in lesson 2!
Next Steps:
Move on to Lesson 2.
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.
