250 Box Challenge

I still can't believe I spent almost 3 months drawing boxes pretty almost everyday!
Hi Xirtaeb, Congratulations on finishing the 250 box challenge. That is quite a feat. I'll be giving you feedback. Pointing out mistakes you've made as well as things you did good.
Your lineworks looks very good from start to finish. The lines are straight and don't over or undershoot their mark. Hatching is also very consistent. I would suggest adding extra lineweight to the contour of the boxes as it sets the boxes better apart from the paper and it is good exercise for your line placing.
There is a bit of variation in the orientation of your boxes. I encourage you to push this further. Look at this diagram of different possible orientations. A lot of this comes down to changing the length and direction of your starting Y-shape.
There are a few odd boxes at the beginning (like 9, 14, 15, 30, 15) but these mistakes are all but gone towards the end.
As a side note. You don't have to draw the extension lines to the edge of the page. Or even to the vanishing point if it is far away. They just have to be long enough so you get an idea if they go in the same direction. This will make the pages look a bit cleaner and clearer to read.
Overall very nice work. Good luck with lesson 2
Next Steps:
Stan Prokopenko's had been teaching figure drawing as far back as I can remember, even when I was just a regular student myself. It's safe to say that when it comes to figure drawing, his tutelage is among the best.
