    Hi Pedro!

    Thanks for your time! Yep! i have some majoor problems when it comes to lines. I usually tend to mind that i should hit the dot, Ignoring the fact that this exercise is all about confidence! Tho, I mind it when I finally took the 250 challenge where i ghost first before landing the tip of the pen on the paper.

    Thanks a lot again for the critique! I knew that there was something wrong but i can't define it myself! hahaha!

    They're pretty much good. Your lines are straight! I envy you a lil. But, you don't have much sense of vanishing points. The variations of your line directions dramatically alters. Some are too diverge. Some are to converged, resulting to some heavy foreshortening. While mostly, the lines are too parallel that don't signify any possible vanishing points. It is mostly resembled to an impossible box as Proko mentioned here. Don't get me wrong tho. I cried for these for days until I finally get it!

    Hope this helps.

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.
