    Noice! That's improvement mate, good. The rotated boxes are rotating now, and lines of the boxes are better.

    It's okay man, even I couldn't focus on lesson 3, but it's okay as long as you bring yourself back to it and finish it with all you got. Now go and conquer 250 boxes.

    stay safe, god bless.

    Next Steps:

    250 box

    Hello Drakma,

    You said you are new to drawing so I'll write accordingly.

    First thing that I noticed that your lines are wobbling a lot specially the longer ones, always remember since you are new to drawing that you must focus on relying on your shoulder and elbow rather than wrist, make sure to go through parts of lesson 0 and 1 that talk about this nicely.

    Your ghosted lines were almost straight that good but you missed both the dots. Make sure to place your pen on the dot you are starting from nicely and there's no need to rush.

    your ellipses were starting off shakey again always remember to rely on your shoulder movement.

    Your rough perspective had a lot of wiggly lines and that's not good mate. Remember that all horizontal lines will be parallel to the horizon line and all vertical lines will be perpendicular.

    Your rotated boxes mate.... it is a tough exercise to begin with, so don't feel bad. The boxes aligned at the middle and the ones beside it both right and left are not rotating and that's why it's looking completely flat, hatching the sides made it a bit confusing for me to understand so I'll say take a look at rotated boxes again and lastly your organic perspective, I feel it's too rushed through, you should have given it more time, don't just keep on drawing, stop and take a look at what's going on then again continue.

    Overall just remember about the shoulder movement and if you're just doing it as a hobby then go as you please but if you want to make a career out of it then you have to work hard mate but remember to easy on yourself.

    Next Steps:

    Do the 250 box challenge but first do the rough perspective, rotated boxes and organic perspective again with confident and straighter lines.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

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.
