Hi WIll_thomp! Let's go over your boxes.
Your first page has lots of mistake like edge extension in wrong direction & divergence from vanishing points but I can see that those are very rare & you've imporved a lot through out the challenge.
Some times your edges are converging in pair(like this https://imgur.com/KSHwTwo.png), which can occur if you loose the the original vanishing point. You can almost avoid this by ghosting toward the vanishing point multiple times to better visualize it & plot vertices more accurately.
Seems like you did not used ghosting method for the hatching because they're not as smooth & confident as edges of boxes. It would've given you much more essential practice for ghosted lines. Well, I hope you keep this in mind when doing cylinder challenge.
There are also some cases like in box 77 where your hatching starts & stops at arbritrary distances, they should be starting and ending at the edges of the box. Though you did improve on this later on.
I see that you've done lineweight but they're quite wobbly & not subtle. See if this help you https://i.imgur.com/OHvr7Mb.png. It should blend with the line seamlessly, you should be ghosting for them as well & then place the mark like you would do superimposed lines. Though with practice it will improve.
Overall
You are doing great with these boxes, though I feel like you did only some boxes with shallow foreshortening & the convergence still needs some work(so more ghosting), when doing warm up you could try to spend some time on them(https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/1/foreshortening).

Lesson 2
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
