Hi, thank you for the reply! I'd like to ask how to NOT converge my lines in pairs. This usually happened due to the lines at the back not matching with those in the front. I'd place a dot (or corner) where 2 of the lines could converge "correctly" but the third one always goes the wrong way. How should I work on it?
Happy holidays to you too!

Thank you! I've officially ran out of creative juices so I might be drawing more natural structures/forms in the future :D they're interesting to look at...

Alright, thank you! I forgot to mention that I wanted help with the 'Rotating Boxes' homework but seems like I've completed the objective of introducing questions into my head through its hardship

Hi Benj, thank you for the feedback!
I'd like to clarify and ask a few questions;
1) How do I curve consciously in the opposite direction whilst drawing lines? I typically draw my lines quite quickly. To me, that's what it means to be confident, otherwise my pen starts to shake. Do you have any tips on this?
2) What do you mean by the ellipses critique? I'll admit that some I didn't draw through because they were "perfect" already, but what do you mean by "be careful that you draw through them a full 2 times, not just 1 and change"?
3) I had some trouble with the outer corners of the 'Rotating Boxes' homework. I understand using other points as reference, but when I did that, it didn't quite feel right. What I tried to achieve in the end was a spherical formation, hence why 1 box looks completely different from the rest.
That's all I have to ask. Thank you for also delving into composition regarding the 'Organic Boxes' homework. I had given the far-off boxes thicker line weight because my thought process was to highlight anything not behind another box. I think your criticism does make sense too though, and I'll definitely be applying that for warm-ups.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
