hello, ill be critiquing your homework today!
organic arrows- ok, although the arrow heads are a bit wonky. try to place dots and use the tracing method the next time you practice it.
contour ellipses- ok, although in some places the ellipses randomly change width. also, in my opinion you placed too many ellipses-- only place the ellipse where there actually is a change in contour
contour lines- ok. in some places there are too many lines
texture analysis- missing!
dissections- ok. textures wrap around nicely
form intersections- ok
organic intersections- ok
overall you did a good job. However I cannot mark it as complete until I see the texture analysis. this is really important as it builds skills of observation, and is the basis of the 25 texture challenge.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
