250 Box Challenge

I triple checked, all boxes should be accounted for... after this long and (but still small) journey I await to know my destiny
Thanks in advance for your work!!

For the first 50, there are a few lines that arc or wobble a bit, like box 16. While your conergences show improvement in their accuracy throughout the set, I noticed the odd line veering off in the wrong direction, like box 37's orange line. Some lines also pair off and converge towards two vanishing points, such as box 11's blue lines, box 30's red lines, and box 43's orange lines.
For the next 50, while there's a little arcing here and there, like box 63, your lines show improvement. I also see further improvement in your convergences, though there are still some cases where lines pair off, like box 79's green lines and box 94's orange lines.
For the last 150, I see further improvement in the quality of your lines and accuracy of convergences. There are a handful of errant lines, like box 130's yellow line and box 158's green line. Some lines still diverge in pairs, like box 129's green lines, box 180's yellow line, and box 230's purple lines. In these boxes and the ones mentioned above, the inner lines (green and orange in this diagram) diverge instead of converging at the vanishing point. Keeping in mind the angles of neighboring lines can help when planning the box's construction.
As an aside, box 45 is missing an orange line extension. It's not a major problem, since your line extensions were otherwise fine, but I wanted to mention it for future reference.
All said, I'm going to mark this challenge as complete.
Next Steps:
Continue on to Lesson 2, and add rotated boxes with line extensions in the style of the last 150 to your warm-up exercise pool.
Thank you very much for your feedback, managed today to go through it with attention!
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
