250 Box Challenge

I goofed with the lines going away from the face, was to busy focusing on remaining consistent with an x,y,z axis for some odd reason
At first, you missed that in 3 point perspective lines should always converge towards the vanishing point because yours are extremely straight. Try to estimate where your vanishing point is (even if it is way beyond the page) and then draw them according to your observations.
Secondly, You approached cross-hatching instead of hatching lines. They also look like you were hurrying up. As mentioned in draw-a-box, if you don’t want to draw it carefully, don’t do that. However, I encourage you to be a little bit more patient, and draw them, as they should be drawn.
In some boxes, you extend your line in the wrong direction. Remember that lines converge towards the vanishing point.
Next Steps:
I am sorry to say that, but I can't mark this lesson as complete. You didn't progress so much while doing this challenge. I suggest rereading 250 boxes challenge's dectription and then redo it. Also, as you've done first 50, post one page on Discord server to see if you're doing well.
Good luck, I believe this time you'll do this right (I also had to repeat 250 boxes, you're not alone)
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.
