With regards to the gaps, boxes will look smaller and further away from the viewer if the gaps between them are quite small. Notice for instance in this photo, the pillars of the bridge appear to get closer together as they go back in space. Logically we know that they remain the same distance apart from each other but as things get further away, space compresses as it approaches the vanishing point. It's not a big deal if you don't understand it yet since the organic perspective exercise is intended as an introduction to these kinds of concepts and will be something you start to grasp more and more throughout the course.

As for the divergence, this is what happens when the parallel lines of your boxes do not converge evenly towards their shared vanishing point, instead one or two of those lines go towards their own vanishing point. This is something directly covered in the 250 box challenge however.

Thank you for clearing the concept for me . I understand what you meant now.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.

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.
