You finally made it through, congratulations! Your boxes look very nice and well-placed. Just a few quick notes:
-
A more variety of perspective and foreshortening (for example, dramatic foreshortening) will spice up your work and help avoid repetition. Plus, you don't have to apply the Y method to all the boxes. Other ways of drawing boxes are accepted.
-
You should definitely try doing bigger boxes (like 2/3 of the page long), as your boxes are uniformly small. Bigger boxes are much harder to execute, so practicing them is recommended.
Next Steps:
You can move on to Lesson 2.

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.
