    Thank you for the reply. You are right, the pen was dying out and I didnt think it was that big of a deal to immediatly replace it. Won't happen again.

    Ok, so I have to draw bigger, draw through and draw along the demonstrations. Got it.

    I tried to be slower as you asked, here https://imgur.com/a/yJxQlIM.

    Hi, I want to give thanks to both of you for your patience.

    Regarding the box I drew, I cannot see what would be the properly drawn box in this case, so could you please specify in exactly what way its perspective is wrong, maybe with a visual representation? (As I was writing this I had an epiphany and realized the wrongness of the box and the perspective in it, so you don't need to address this)

    About the recording part, we are lucky: a webcam is amongst my belongings, so I could try to record the video through that.

    I will take a look at the updated ghosting part looking for a breakthrough.

    Thank again to both you and scyllastew for your patience.

    Oh, that was it. You see, I got confused by the image on the side that was meant to show the correct way of doing it, but the thickness in the box shown in it appeared to be applied on all the lines that the viewer can see. Thank you for clearing that up.

    I have a question. Sould I apply line weight to only the contour of the box or to all the lines I can see as a viewer?

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.
