I am by no means a Drawabox expert or anything, Just trying to give feedback as best I can!
Looks like you improved quite a bit from the first picture to the last one. Your lines look strong and confident.
You seem to struggle with that very last point/corner of the box, I guess that means you’re on the right track, since everyone I’ve seen so far (myself included) had this issue once completing the initial 250 boxes.
Overall very good practice you have done here.
Next Steps:
If you’re looking for some more torture, you can do some more boxes (about 100) in the cylinder challenge ????. Otherwise I would suggest moving onward to lesson 3.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
