Congratulations for completing the 250 Box Challenge!
From what I can see your line work is fairly well done and your boxes are coming along well.
I see that throughout many of your boxes, you purposely tried to keep your sets of lines parallel on the 2D page, drawing them all to an "infinite" vanishing point. As explained in this section, because these boxes are oriented with us looking at the corner of the box, we should be drawing it in 3 point perspective - meaning with 3 concrete vanishing points, each set of lines converging towards a real point in space, even if that point is far off and the convergence is gradual.
I think this diagram will help you as well. So, when you are looking at your sets of lines you want to be focusing only on the lines that share a vanishing point. This does not include lines that share a corner or a plane, only lines that converge towards the same vanishing point. Now when you think of those lines, including those that have not been drawn, you can think about the angles from which they leave the vanishing point. Usually the middle lines have a small angle between them, and this angle will become negligible by the time they reach the box. This can serve as a useful hint.
Something to keep in mind as well, when you are working through Drawabox you should be employing the ghosting method for every mark you make. This includes the hatching that we sometimes use for our boxes.
Before moving onto lesson 2 I am going to have you draw 30 additional boxes. I will mainly be looking to see if your sets of parallel lines are doing a better job of converging consistently towards their shared vanishing points. Make sure you visit the links I have left you and reread the challenge instructions before starting on your revisions.
Next Steps:
30 additional boxes as described in the critique.
