    Alright, thank you!

    I see. Though, whenever I try to hold my pen like that, while ghosting or doing the superimposed line assignment, my grip's angle always shift. Like it goes unnotice or sometimes it looks/feels like im holding the pen at a 90° angle and when I execute the line, that's when I notice it.

    Yeah, I have some control issues with the line weight, considering that around box #200s I, for the first time, got a pair of fineliners. I'm starting to get a hang of the line weight function the fineliners have abit (heck, I have to now hold them in a 90°-like angle in order for the 0.45 mm fineliners to actually have good ink flow). I'll try experimenting with the line weight. Thanks btw!

    Apologies for the very late response but will this do?

    For the rotated boxes, I understand that they were kinda hard to visualize because of the too many lines so hopefully shading in the spots would help.

    As for the extra lines, yes they were correction lines, I correct lines because sometime they just don't match up or don't exactly connect with the corners. If I shouldn't correct my lines, then should I just leave the mark there?

    Thanks.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
