Hey Wobotwizard, I'll be taking a look at your submission today.
You've extended the edges in the right direction & hatched the front faces but your hatching is not what we want, it should not start & stop at arbitrary points/distances & always be done using ghosting method. We want the hatching to be done like this https://drawabox.com/lesson/2/8/hatching.
Your line weight is smooth without any repeating lines.
Sometimes your edges converge in pairs, you might have lost the vanishing point. You might be doing this already but I suggest ghosting toward the vanishing point from all available edges, whenever you want to place a new corner. See https://imgur.com/8PqQLE0 for more help on this.
Over all your boxes in later half & near the end came out really good, they do need better convergence but you can definitely improve it over time with practice.
Next Steps:
Congrats!! You've completed Box Challenge, feel free to start lesson 2.
Keep doing exercises from previous lesson & this challenge in your warm ups. Don't forget to keep doing the fun part of 50% rule along with the lessons.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
