Hi Candyheartlia,
Sorry for any wait on my follow-up review. It looks like the remainder of your submission is the same as before, so I have linked my previous critique in case you wanted to refresh your memory on any of my original comments.
As for your resubmitted Rough Perspective exercise, it's still incorrect in places, but I can see you had a better understanding of the exercise this time around and made a solid attempt at following the edges and the true perspective lines of your boxes. For this reason I will mark your assignment as complete. However, I can tell you're struggling a bit with understanding the construction of these boxes and the function of the vanishing point/horizon line. The main problem I'm seeing is that with some of your perspective lines, you're tracing arbitrary lines from the corners of the boxes where you should be following the edges. The edges of some of your boxes actually point away from the horizon line, which won't make sense in 3-D space, and may be leading to confusion. Please see these images and the associated notes/captions for a visual explanation that may help you see what I mean.
This exercise is supposed to be outside of your comfort zone at this point, so I don't think you need to redo it a second time, but I really think you should review the videos that are provided for this exercise and make sure you understand how boxes work in 3-D space. I recommend the video provided in the exercise here. Also, if you have time, I would review Uncomfortable's explanation of 3-D boxes here. I would also read through the Rough Perspective exercise one more time, paying close attention to each step of the construction of the boxes. I know this is a lot to ask, but I really want to make sure you have a good grasp of boxes before you start the 250 box challenge. While the challenge will help you a lot with this concept, you will have to redo it all if your perspective lines aren't drawn correctly (and that would be terrible!)
Like I said, I've marked this as complete. You can take my advice and review this exercise one more time, or you can move along to the 250 Box Challenge if you feel like you're ready for it. Either way, I highly suggest you post your first couple pages of the box challenge to the #lesson1 Discord channel and confirm with our colleagues that you're doing the challenge correctly. Feel free to link some sheets in a reply or DM me on Discord if you want my personal input as well. Nice work overall, and good luck on your future lessons!
Cheers :)

thank you for the critique! i was actually struggling to do the boxes as the exercise told me so i had to wing it! i was going to oublish the first boxes this weekend, i was mostly waiting for this lesson to be completed. thank you for your input.
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.
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.
