Hello, and well done for finishing the first step of drawabox. I will be doing your critique today.
Lines:
Not much to say other than some slightly wonky lines. This will get better with practice, just remember to ghost as much as you need, use your shoulder as a pivot and confidence>accuracy.
Boxes:
Your rotated boxes have some placements that feel odd and make it difficult to see. Also your vanishing points seem to be sliding closer to the box, as opposed to further. In organic perspective, your change in perspective should be more dramatic so the sense of objects getting closer is more obvious to the viewer.
That's all for now.
Next Steps:
Move onto the 250 box challenge. Remember to do these lessons as quick warm-ups. Good luck!

Thank you for giving time to critique me, I appreciate that.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
