Definitely looking much better, in terms of the variance in rates of foreshortening. I'm also pleased to see that when you increase the rate of convergence of those side edges (resulting in a smaller far end), you're matching it with a similar increase in degree for that far end.
Additionally, your line quality - specifically with the side edges - improves towards the end of the set, although I do want to remind you to actively use every aspect of the ghosting method whenever you're freehanding your linework. Meaning, for straight lines, you do not want to leave out plotting out the start and end points, as this helps to cement the purpose of the planning phase, ensuring that you're applying it correctly rather than just going through the motions of it.
I'll go ahead and mark this challenge as complete.
Next Steps:
Move onto Lesson 6.

Thanks Uncomfortable, great feedback again as always.
Cheers,

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.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
