    So what do I need to improve on sir, and what can I do to improve, like what type of exercises I can do before doing lessons

    I was wondering if I have to also complete the 250 box challenge,

    I’m confused because I already did them in the first try when I started draw a box but I quit at that time I completed 250 box challenge and also completing lessons 2-4, but I didn’t share my progress and I’m returning to redo and have someone check my work so I’ll get feedback but again I’m concerned do I need to complete the 250 box challenge.

    And yes my lines are still bad I tend to have shaky arms when doing long lines, I really do appreciate the feedback AzurBlazes, I’ll continue to get better

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.

On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.

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.
