So part of the reason your lines are diverging is that you're extending your vanishing points and correction lines in the wrong direction still.

I put this image together for you quickly. It points to a few of the boxes that are incorrect (25 page 1 as an example means it's from the 25 boxes first page in the link). I also wrote up a quick explanation and created an example of how you can use your initial Y to determine which way your box is orientated and know which way to extend your lines. Remember that they should always extend away from the viewer.

Definitely don't grind, do address your mistakes and do draw boxes and previous exercises in your warm ups but grinding for perfection will just lead to burn out which can take up even more time than if you paced yourself well to begin with.

We don't expect perfection and neither should you, you're learning. We just want to see your best attempts, I'm going to be marking your submission complete and moving you on to the next lesson because your boxes overall have improved you just need to address your line extensions.

Don't beat yourself up for your mistakes too much, good luck in lesson 2 and I look forward to seeing your future work.

Next Steps:

Move on to lesson 2.

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

Hola Tofu!

I appreciate your help, and the effort in showing me the examples.

Me voy a tomar unos días libres, y revisaré atentamente los errores para solucionarlos, paso a paso y con mucha calma y paciencia en mis futuros calentamientos.

un tierno saludo!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

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.
