    This has been a week with a lot of guesswork and a small mountain of scrapped paper. This is as good as it's likely going to get. Tried to use shadows only as cast to the ground within the box by overhead light, which included tight wheelwells and had the vehicle as tightly bound by the construction box as possible. The not very box-like shape of modern cars makes applying the example techniques extremely difficult. Found myself unable to take a mostly box-like chassis and 'stack' upwards from there. Had to figure out how to take 1 wheel width, divide down to 3/4, then continue to extend backwards from 3/4 since there wasn't 1 wheel of width in front of the first wheel. There was a lot of conflicting advice in the Lesson 7 channel but I mostly cobbled it together from there and some other student's completed lessons.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
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).
