    Thank you so much! I agree with all your feedback and I will make sure to focus on those points where relevant in the 250 box challenge.

    I do need to work on not thinking that I know better or can do something quickly, I think the lessons have done a great job already at humbling me quite a bit and ensuring I am following the instructions but I am going to buckle down and focus even more for the next challenge.

    This is really useful to know that it is very important to get the feedback, as another shy type I hesitated at getting "involved" online but I will try to now :) So thank you for sharing what you have learnt.

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.
