Hey, thanks for submitting this. :) It's a good attempt - you've kept the gaps between the boxes tight and consistent, which has given you good cues about where to place the next one, at least on the front planes. There's a level of hesitancy in your linework as a result of focusing hard on hitting the endpoint, so don't forget that whilst we're carefully planning things out, we're executing confidently. Accuracy will improve with time and practice.
As to the boxes themselves, you didn't manage to capture the full range of rotation, tending to follow the vanishing point of the box you previously put down, though naturally as mentioned before, we don't ask or expect any level of mastery from students at this point and the 250 box challenge is your opportunity to address both your boxes and your line confidence.
Next Steps:
Feel free to move onto the 250 box challenge.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading
Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.
Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.
