Hey Rob, thank you for the feedback! The rotated boxes and funnels exercises are definitely things I'd like to revisit in the future. Drawing ellipses from the shoulder still feels a bit alien, but I do feel like I'm getting more used to it with each attempt. The ghosting method from this course is also completely new to me and engaging with it has been an interesting experience so far. I think the 250 box challenge will be a great way to get more practice.
I like the soda can on the fourth page a lot! You can really feel a bend to it.
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).
