Sorry for poor image quality.
Also due to the way that the images uploaded to imgur there are a couple gaps of missing boxes. Here is a link to those missing boxes. https://imgur.com/a/XqGUjT6
Congrats on finishing the box challenge! Overall you've done a pretty good job, there are only a few things I want to comment on:
-First is that hatching on the boxes is a bit rushed at times. Make sure to place your pen at the start of each line touching the line of the box where they start so the lines can't fray on 2 ends.
-Second is that you've drawn few boxes per page, which is great, but they're a bit small. I would have liked to see bigger boxes. If you were afraid of the lines extensions touching other boxes, don't worry about it. It's okay if they collide.
-Third is the inner corners. As you can see they're still giving you trouble by the end of the challenge, but don't worry about it since it's something normal. This issue is the accumulation of all your previous mistakes on the previous guesses, so as you keep practicing more and improving more, it will gradually get better.
One way to make that made it easier for me instantly was to try drawing boxes on this order, so give it a shot.
And another thing that helps and that is involved on that method of drawing boxes too, is to try to compare angles between all the lines you're drawing, constantly thinking about the relationships between every line, not just on pairs. It's explained on this other diagram.
-Lastly I've seen that even though you've variety on orientations of boxes on the challenge, sometimes you tend to get a bit stuck, so take a look at this diagram, it might give you more ideas.
Overall like I said pretty good job! Once you get better with the inner corner issue applying what I mentioned you, I recommend to get into the adittional exercises. Make sure you still practice 2p and 1p perspective boxes as well too! Once again congratulations on finishing the box challenge and good luck with lesson 2.

lesson 2
Thanks for the review!
In the future, when I use boxes to warm up I will keep your method of drawing in mind. Hopefully it will help me overcome my issues with the back corner.
Honestly I didn't draw boxes that large because I was afraid I wasn't going to fit them all in one page. But also I was worried about the lines intercepting the boxes. I wanted to give the lines enough space to see whether or not they were converging properly.
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
