Here are my first request revisions. Wow what amazing feedback, I truly appreciate you taking your time out to help me.
These are already looking much better. Just don't forget that the angles between of initial Y should all be bigger than 90 degrees. Otherwise there will be distortion (like your box #6). There are two boxes with an angle slightly smaller than 90 degrees.
Also, good job on drawing those boxes bigger! :)
For the next boxes I'll ask you to try more different angles. Try to use the Y randomizer that I had mentioned on my critique. And try to make the lines converge just a bit more. Your lines are either almost parallel or actually diverging a little.
Keep up the good job!
Next Steps:
More 15 boxes, this time having different angles and make them converge a bit more.
I had to re-read the line-weight section as you suggested and your own critique, but I really believe I am beginning to understand some of the mistakes you have helped me clearly see so that I can improve. I tried very hard on the last few to focus on improving...
i think you finally got the hang of most mistakes. You've improved a lot with these 25 boxes that I asked you to do, don't you think?
To fix your problem with the inner corner that makes some lines diverge, you should place the inner corner a bit earlier. Like this: guide
It takes some boxes to get used to it so don't be shocked if it doesn't go well on your first 5-10 boxes.
I'll mark your your submission as complete. I suggest you to keep doing boxes from time to time to keep improving even more during your warm-ups.
Good luck on your journey!

You're free to start Lesson 2.
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
