Thank you for the helpful critique! I took your advice and redid the organic perspective exercises. https://imgur.com/a/8mdbqr6
Checking the new organic perspectives, they seem to have a few more boxes with lines converging behind them, and a few are really good (the leftmost box in panel three on the first sheet)! For reference though, This is the direction the lines should be converging, behind the box. Of course, with more practice in the future (250 box challenge) you'll get a good grasp on it.
As for the line weight, a lot of these lines are still doubled, still drawn over twice. I'm willing to let it slide, but I want it to be known this is a big no no. I pointed it out in the original set and they still show up, so that's something I think you should be very aware of: Don't draw the same line twice, unless explicitly told so.
I'd say I think you're okay to move onto the 250 box challenge. Use all the previous exercises as warm ups, and if you feel like you need extra practice in boxes feel free to focus on those in your warm ups. Remember what I said though, no line doubling, and boxes converge in the back.
Next Steps:
250 Box Challenge
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).
