250 Box Challenge

Good Evening!
Without further ado... here are dem boxes.
Some thoughts:
I still struggle a lot with overshooting the lines when ghosting. Maybe I am drawing the lines too fast? Unsure about this. Also my lines taper a LOT, don´t know if this might be the pen or just my pressure/pen control. My pens are good quality, but they do act weirdly sometimes and are not always consistent. I feel somewhat confident about my line quality, but since the instruction told me to go into line weighting and make it feel more 3D, I took a shot at it - and ruined almost all clean lines in there. I practise superimposed lines daily for warmup, but I am not yet able to do this in a clean way.
A question on line weights: should I try to implement the line weight along with the first line/mark? Or add the line weight on an already existing line? Doing it simultaneously feels impossible to me right now, and would be "2 problems at once". But I am happy for any thoughts on this.
I think I learned a lot from this exercise, but I cannot really make out any visible progress. Some boxes on the first pages look better that boxes on the later pages. It is SO easy to screw it up. The 2 front planes are somewhat ok, but as soon as I get to the faraway/back planes...
Also it´s funny that a lot of them looked correctly, until I actually corrected them. I hope I´m not alone with this.
I wanted to upload the 250 digital ones from last November as well, but in retrospective I used the undo-function extensively. So I scrapped it.
Looking forward to your feedback!
Stay healthy!
