Draw with pen and understand the importance of each stroke you make, that way you won't ever put down shitty marks that you have to erase. I'm just kidding, don't take that advice seriously. Maybe if you draw lighter, the eraser mark won't be as dark so you won't notice it as much.

I understand your feeling completely. I started 94 days ago myself and have bounced between drawabox and other books on how to draw. I feel like I have made decent progress, but I know it's difficult because you don't know what you're doing or what is going to help you.

The lines don't have to be perfectly straight, they just have to be drawn with confidence. Though, at least for your horizon line, you should use a ruler and make sure that is straight. At least from what I have gathered, drawabox is meant to help with visualizing forms and how they take up 3D space, as well as refining your "mark making", basically, being able to draw lines confidently without stuttering or fucking them up.

It took me a while of doing Drawabox to start to visual forms in 3D space and it even took me multiple days to understand how boxes work. I remember even getting really upset and almost crying because I just couldn't seem to get it, then eventually I feel like I did. Understanding the bit about the three parallel sets of lines, TRULY understanding it really seemed to help me. It took a lot of experimenting on my own as well to come to those conclusions.

I also read a lot of "Perspective Made Easy" and that might have helped me as well. Sorry if I didn't help.
