Your boxes are incredibly messy, with every single line on every single box you must use the ghosting method from lesson 1, In addition, if you miss a mark adding more lines to "correct" it will only make it stand out more and make it harder to see your mistake. If you make a mistake leave it alone. How are you supposed to improve and move on from a mistake if you can't see it?
This is difficult! This will take a long time, but it will improve your skills a lot.
If you have the determination to do this once I'm sure you have the determination to go back and do it properly.
Goodluck!
Next Steps:
I would like to see 50 clean, solidly planned out boxes. You may only draw 10 a day, this isn't about finishing fast, this is about good habits. Be deliberate and careful.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
