Here are my revisions. Definitely still having trouble with clean lines.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to your revisions, I've been flat out this week.
Definitely looking better here. Your superimposed lines are coming along well and you're doing a good job keeping the horizontals parallel and verticals perpendicular to the horizon line in the rough perspective. Your estimation of perspective is not too far off the mark and where it does, it varies in exactly the ways we expect it to for beginners just starting out - less accurate the further the box is from the vanishing point.
With that, I'm marking this lesson as complete. Keep practicing these exercises in your warm-ups and I'm sure you'll see some good gains in line confidence by the end of the box challenge.
Next Steps:
Feel free to move onto the 250 box challenge.

No worries, and thank you!

The Art of Brom
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
