Hello Findlost, 250 Boxes is a big step, congrats on making it through! I'll be looking over your work.
Throughout the lesson, I can see that the quality of your mark making has generally improved. Your lines were usually neither accurate or confident at the beginning but you managed to make your lines straighter and more accurate as you progressed through the challenge. You did a good job with drawing big boxes with different shapes as well. However, there are still some mistakes I want to point out so you can work on them moving forward. Firstly, I noticed that when your lines weren't fully accurate, you tried to correct them by drawing over the initial line. Always remember that trying to fix your mistakes with ink will only shift the viewer's attention to them. I also noticed a couple of wobbly lines in most pages as well. This implies that you weren't fully confident with your lines and perhaps a bit hesitant. Always remember that confidence is more important than accuracy. Ghost through each line and make sure to execute them confidently. If you want to read more about hesitation, make sure to take a look at this comment by Uncomfy.
Like your normal lines, you were a bit hesitant with your line weight as well. Remember to treat line weight like a normal line, make sure to ghost through until you're comfortable with the mark you're planning to make and execute with confidence. You can take a look at this demo to see how to properly apply your line weight.
Finally, even though your convergences got better as you kept going, I think you could still find this diagram helpful. You mostly had trouble with the inner corner of the box and that is completely fine since the inner corner is usually the hardest one to place correctly. You can take a look at this demo to see a different way of placing the inner corner.
Overall, you did a pretty good job! Try to experiment with different orientations of boxes in the future, as shown here. I'm going to mark this lesson as complete so if you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or tag me on discord with the same name, good luck!

Move on to Lesson 2!
Hello Goodboy123, thank you very much for your helpful comments. This was a pretty hard experience for me so I'll keep in mind of your suggestions for the future studies.
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
