250 Box Challenge

The challenge was nervewrecking in unexpected ways?
As one can see, around halftime is where i had to take a longer break from the challenge due to university stress. Which, as serious as i take these drawabox assignment, is more important, because i won't get a job doing draftmanship exercises.
I really really didn't have any time to spare and after some weeks decided to go on with the challenge without putting in the extra lineweight, shading or check the convergences in order to wrap it up at some point. Having it sit on my desk unfinished made me feel guilty and gave me additional anxiety, so i went ahead with the maximum i could do for the minimal amount of time.
Ultimately the quality of my boxes didn't change much, maybe it even declined towards the end because i really didn't have time to spare, but didn't want to have to wait months to properly continue. It's also been around 6 weeks since i took those photos and my boxes look a lot better than they do here, i also went ahead and added everything that i didn't do here (some shading + checking the convergences) recently, but since these are the pics i took when i called it "done", i thought it was just fair to take and show these.
While my boxes here may not be particularly well made, i can definitely feel the improvement in my confidence in my day-to-day drawing now. I am so done with this challenge to be honest, especially after letting it sit for some time the mistakes are more than apparent, but i also know that i am already better now than when i finished this, so i'm content that i was able to learn from my mistakes i made here and have become pretty tuned to spotting them.
If anybody wants to give me some additional feedback regardless, i'll be happy to have that! Thank you all! :D
