I think these are out of order, but all 250 boxes are there!

Hi, hope it's not to late having received this feedback.
- For most of these boxes, the line extensions are incorrect (either that, and/or you put the hatching lines in the back planes, which is also incorrect). You improved your convergences in some ways. But without extending your lines properly (that being, extending them away from the near planes), you can't really get an idea of whether or not your line convergences are correct.
Some examples of when you extended lines incorrectly include: Box 164's & Box 166's blue lines and Box 250's red lines
Examples of when you extended the lines correctly include: all of Box 157's lines & all of 127's lines
On a positive note, your line work for both the hatching lines is pretty decent.
Though, I will say to not repeat strokes, even if there's a mishap. If you do mess up a line, just move on and aim to not make the same mistake in the future. Ghost lines as much as you need to.
Next Steps:
60 more boxes
I would ask for more, but 310 boxes is too much already. If you can get the hang of checking convergences correctly, and if it seems like you have a decent grasp of 3D space from this, I won't ask for any more revisions.
Maybe try reviewing some material (mainly, the challenge's lesson content and video) to refresh your mind on how to go about this exercise. Feel free to reply to this comment with progress of the revisions. Best of luck

Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
