    Thanks so much for the feedback! I've retried the two you requested, here you go. https://imgur.com/a/tdCGNjW I'm still not quite there, I think, but hopefully I've improved.

    Well done! If I have one complaint, it's that it looks like you've gone back over some of the lines of your boxes. If you're doing that for line weight, that's okay, but remember that we want to be drawing our lines with one confident stroke, not an amalgamation of multiple less-than-confident ones.

    Next Steps:

    I think you're ready for lesson 2! Just don't forget the 50% rule =)

    Well done! What are these dotted lines running along the sides of your boxes?

    Well done making it to 250! I think you're ready to move on to lesson 2 =)

    Next Steps:

    Check out Lesson 2! Don't forget the 50% rule, though. If you haven't drawn for the sake of drawing in a bit, maybe do some of that before you start the next lesson.

    Great work! As long as you keep in mind not to redraw your lines, I'd say you're ready for the next step!

    Great work! A few notes:

    • Some of your ghosted lines are pretty wobbly. I'd go back and do that one again, trying to focus more on confidence over accuracy. Remember, draw from the shoulder and don't be afraid to rotate the page to find a more comfortable angle. It looks like you did a bit better with that on ghosted planes.

    • Same thing for rough perspective.

    • It also looks like you redrew several of your lines for rough perspective, rotated boxes, and organic perspective. Try not to do that. Remember, use the ghosting method to get ready before you actually touch pen to paper, but once the pen goes down, just draw the line once. We're trying to get more confident with markmaking and that'll be harder if you draw every line two or three times.

    Next Steps:

    Try ghosted lines again!

Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
