Thank you very much for the in-depth feedback!
I did misread that part of the branches exercise and appreciate the clarrification.
Here's an attempt to fill the whole page, and put more thought into each mark before touching the paper. The temptation to rush was still quite intense though. This was about an hour. But I'm wondering wether to try another one, going even slower. Do you think that'd be useful?

Thank you very much for the detailed feedback! I'll make sure to work on textures as part of my warm-ups and especially keep those two links in mind.

Good notes and a good diagram to use as a guide. Thanks so much for the help!

Thank you very much for the detailed notes! :) I'll definitely try the rotated boxes again after I've done the 250 challenge. Would it be alright to show that second pass at the rotated boxes when I submit the 250 box challenge? I'm still a little confused about why the boxes don't feel like they're rotating. So getting more eyes on it again might be helpful.
Regardless, thanks again for the help! :D

Well said, and very helpful! Thanks for the advice! I'll make sure to do the superimposed lines exercise at the start of each session and use that exercise as reference for how to add better weight.

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.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
