Hello,
nice job on finishing the challenge, gonna try to give you some helpful critique.
First things first, your extending lines should never go in the directions of the viewer and you got it most of the time but when your view is from looking up to the box you you extend it in the wrong direction (doesn't really matter if you extend through your other boxes or the page cuts off). You can see it on the box 144 and 145 pretty good, sometimes its more neutral like on box 128.
So if you look up to a box your extending lines should also go up.
A way to make sure you do this correctly 100% of the times, is to always extend the lines away from the center dot of the Y, as shown here:https://imgur.com/iNpIubA
Good that you started with the hatching and the line lineweight. Your lines in general are pretty good, just don't try to redo lines just let them be.
Also your box rotations are pretty much the same the last 4 pages or so, but overall its good.
You really improved your boxes over this challenge and nothing really else stood out to me, they fell much more solid now.
So i can recommend you doing the additional box exercises. https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/2
Its not a must, but if you are in between lessons and waiting for critique you can try it out.
And good luck going forward to lesson 2.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
