I feel like line quality improved more on this one then my boxes.

Congrats on completing the 250 box challenge! I'll be reviewing your work.
Overall, you've made some nice improvements in linework. Lines are more confident, and your lineweight has progressed nicely. One thing I do find a bit messy is the hatching. It could be neater - think of hatching as a way to practice ghosting. You did slightly improve your hatching through the course of this challenge, though. On your last page of boxes, lineweight is lacking in some areas. I recommend practicing superimposed lines in your future warmups. Also, you should properly ghost each line when creating lineweights thus blending all the lines seamlessly - treat each added lineweight as you would a regular line. Note: extra lineweight should only be added to the silhouette of your boxes & lineweight should only be passed once or twice. Extra lineweight should not be used to cover mistakes.

Your convergences have improved pretty well through this challenge. You've probably seen this diagram already, but it may further develop your spatial skills. It focuses mainly on how the angles of the lines relate to each other.
Overall, your work is good! I see nice improvements in overall line quality :) I'll go ahead and mark this as complete, good luck on lesson 2 :)

Thank you for your reply, I am doing super imposed lines as a warmup before each sitting.

How to Draw by Scott Robertson
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
