    Hi EnchantressOfAether,

    I hope you are well. I can see you put in great effort and followed the instructions really well. Your lines are looking really good too and you're executing with confidence which is super important in this lesson.

    As you mentioned, the rotated boxes is tough (good thing you're dreaming about it lols). I did draw up a quick tip for you on how to adjust the boxes so that the edge boxes were rotated a bit better. You did quite well on the boxes on a string though which is tough!

    I'd say you're good to go for the 250 box challenge. To your comment about being a beginner, you will exceed even the best of visual artists as long as you're persistent and always learning, so just keep going and if you really want it you'll have it.

    Next Steps:

    Move on to the 250 box challenge.

    Read through the instructions again!

    You are missing convergence lines on all of them (which you need to draw after completing a page), you have not drawn each face of the box (the back corner), you have too many boxes on one page.

    The diagonals to mark the front face should be done neatly.

    Each line should be drawn with purpose.

    Next Steps:

    You should start over the challenge after reading the instructions.

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

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.
