Thank you for the critique. I'll use a different host for submitting my homework from now on.

I have a quick question about my daily warm-ups, how should I incorporate drawing boxes into it? Or better put, how should I arrange my warp-up routine in general?

I typically pick a part of a lesson (say, Lesson 1, Part 1), and do all the exercises in it within 15 minutes (e.g. I'll draw 6-10 lines of various lengths with a straight edge, and super impose over them. Then ghost some planes. I usually skip the ghosting lines exercise since I'm already doing that with the planes). I do this with Part 1 & 2 of Lesson 1, for Part 3, I normally skip the Plotted Perspective exercise because it doesn't seem very useful in terms of building line confidence or ability to wing my perspective, and I take the whole 15 warm-up time for that day to do one of them. Warming up using Part 3 typically lasts 3 days. This is how I manage a (somewhat) fair rotation to prevent neglecting any most of the exercises. And this is where my question stems from, I don't really see an obvious way to slot in drawing boxes as a warm-up under this system without any ambiguity. Advice on a solid warp-up routine would be a appreciated.

P.S. I'm doing the rotated boxes exercise for today's warp-up.

Hello Uncomfortable. Here is my submission for this challenge.

I muscled through some of the pages while being dead tired, so some of the boxes are numbered incorrectly (or just plain horrible) and I apologise for that. Interestingly I only noticed improvement in result and technique once I reached the 200s. Mostly in my ability to super impose over my box lines for line weight.
