Congrats on finishing the box challenge!
I think overall you show improvement, both in your lines and in the line extensions of your boxes. There are a few points I want to point out so you can keep improving though.
First of all, I think you've been drawing quite small. I think that you might be drawing on A5 paper. Try to work on A4 copypaper if you can, it's the best choice for this course.
You've drawn little boxes per page, which is good, but you have been drawing them quite small nevertheless, you should use all the space you got. It doesn't matter that the line extensions collide with other boxes, draw them big anyways.
Another issue I notice is that you're rushing your hatching a bit, as you got fraying on both ends on it. Remember to place your pen carefully at the start dot on the line of the box before drawing each one of them.
Next Steps:
Before marking this as complete, I want to see 8 more boxes, on A4 paper if you can, drawing only 2 boxes per page, make sure you fill the page completely, don't worry about the line extensions of the 2 boxes colliding, draw them as big as you can. Be sure you draw with your shoulder too, and that you ghost every line. Good luck and keep it up! You're almost there!

Alright these are looking p good, but I wanna point out some things.
1.Your hatching is still rushed, as I said before, don't do fraying on both ends. Place your pen carefully at the edge of the box at first, and then draw the line, but hatching lines should never float without touching any of the edges. Hatching is optional, but if you do it, do your best with it.
2.Your converengences are in some cases parallel, remember you should try for them to converge, just in case you are forgetting it. Lines can't be parallel, they should converge, at least a little.
3.You're mostly doing the same kinds of boxes. Vary your Y shape more to get different orientations and different boxes. You can use [this Y generator]https://tasty-tangy-meeting.glitch.me/) if you're having trouble with them on your next warmups.
Next Steps:
Good luck on lesson 2, and keep it up!

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 Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
