250 Box Challenge

Hello here are some boxes. This challenge feels like it developed my sense of basic 3d space / perspective a bit better. Look forward to the next lesson!
Hi Juice,
I've checked your submission,
Gonna start out by giving you an advice. Wait for a review before moving on to another lesson/challenge. What makes Draw a Box good it's the fact that you have other people to review your work and give you feedback, so you don't carry your mistakes as you move foward.
Now, on to the actual review:
It seems like you got the idea of the challenge, your boxes got better as you progressed. However, there is an area on which you could improve.
Your line quality. Now, I've talked about this in the critique I just did tou your lesson 1. But, because you move from lesson 1 on to this challenge without waiting for a review, you kinda dragged that mistake on to your boxes. However, your lines do get better in this challenge, but they are lacking a little more confident, so ghost your lines, repeat them and make one confident stroke.
I know it's hard to wait for a review for a long time, but you have to understand that the lesson it's just half of what you can learn, the other half comes from the feedback another person gives you. So be paitient
I'm gonna mark this lesson as completed! Keep it up.
Next Steps:
Move on to lesson 2!
Yeah I have noticed that my line quality can vary quite a bit depending on the day, sometimes feeling worse for stretches of days. I'll keep ghosting in mind more. Thanks for the feedback!
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.
