    As I understand it should all be free hand. The only exercise you use a ruler on is the actual 2-point perspective exercise.

    Thanks for the excellent critique! I'll try to keep it all in mind as I move on to the box challenge

    This looks good to me. The only part I think you could work on is the Organic Perspective and having the boxes rotate around. It looks alot like the same box not different boxes. Wish I had a magic bullet for your dysgraphia but keep at it looking good.

    What I'm noticing on the ellipse is they arent touching both the top and the bottom. As you're coming around for the second pass try to see if you can touch both. On the boxes it looks like on some you arent quite sure where to place your line. Uncomfortable has a good video on how to draw a box using thr "Y" method that helped me alot. Remeber to try to keep them parallel with the lines slowly converging to the "VP" they're sharing. I think the rough perspective looks good. The funnels are good. I'm just new also so I wish I could give more advice but thats what I see. Keep up the good work!

    Next Steps:

    I would practice another page of Organic Perspective. Focus on keeping the parrallel lines in sync ghost your lines and even plot them out before you start them. Remember what you learned with the rough perspective lesson and use it here.

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.
