  1. Extending Lines in The Wrong Direction

A small issue which is only present in your early boxes, though it can make a big difference when reviewing what's wrong with your boxes. Always be mindful of that.

  1. Diverging Lines and Parallel Lines

Your diverging lines are pretty rare and are only prominent in your early boxes but you seem to have a good number of parallel lines with your boxes which is impossible for boxes in 3 point perspective. Be aware of that fact when constructing boxes

  1. Internal Lines

A lot of your mistakes in the challenge are your internal lines, it's completely normal but I do recommend some notes I found that can help you the future.

Ghosting your lines more can also help make that margin of error smaller.

  1. Distortion

Some of your boxes are very distorted something that helped me avoid distortion with my boxes is Uncomfortable's notes on distortion (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/7/distortion) I always try to imagine a circle where all my vanishing points rest on while my box is at the middle of it all.

Congratulations on finishing the 250 box challenge! You may now move on to lesson 2 of Drawabox.

Next Steps:

Take a short break, do some reviewing and warm-ups, and go do Lesson 2 of Drawabox!

Thank you for your valuable advice!

Now I just have to go to the next step.

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.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
