Try asking this over on /r/learnart. This subreddit is reserved for those working through the lessons on drawabox.com, as explained here.

That said, I should mention that technically perspective and shadow projection are unrelated to one another. They seem similar, because of how the mechanics of figuring out how to plot out a shadow involves the light source almost behaving like a vanishing point, but that similarity is fairly shallow and doesn't hold for too long as you continue exploring the concept.
