Hello, I have noticed the amount of uncommented responses in this lesson. I myself have just submitted the 250 box challenge and I thought I would respond to as many of these as possible to the best of my ability.
In general I think you did a good job. Some shapes are a little akward but they got better after you did more of them.
Some thinks that I have noticed:
-
Many of your boxes have flared out (you can see this with the extended lines- instead of going towards each other they were moving apart!) Make sure to keep this in mind when doing other boxes later on.
-
The angles of the 3 original (base) line to construct the box need to be more than 90? angle. If you do not do this the boxes become distorted. Some examples of where you could see this are in boxes: 239,114, 118 and 121 (I see you notice that it was an mistake)
The boxes are quite consistant and have good, confident lines!
Good luck on further lessons.
Next Steps:
You can continue with lesson 2!

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.
