You have drawn through your boxes, added line weight subtly on the external edges while also extending your lines in the right direction! Good job!!
While there are a few boxes here and there with some degree of divergence, they are more of a rarity than anything and it can be seen how you are keeping in mind the vanishing points while drawing.
While the absence of divergence is a very good thing the same thing can't be said for the lack of convergence! Your lines even when extended are parallel to a point, so you missed out on the opportunity to familiarize yourself with foreshortening!!
While it is not a dealbreaker for the challenge, you should try practicing boxes with more dramatic(or even average) convergence during your warmup routine. (I'm not sadistic enough to make you do it all over but you will truly gain a lot by trying your hand at foreshortening)
In the end, I don't see anything holding you back from moving forward to Lesson 2!
Best of wishes, and remember to practice!

Hi RESTLEGLESS
Thank you so much for taking the time & critiquing my homework & thank you for your advice
I'm going to try practice some boxes in dramatic foreshortening.
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
