    Hi Rob, it has been a few weeks since I started the 250 box challenge, I wonder if I should send you updates or should I just send all of it at once when I'm done doing it?

    Hello Rob, I'm glad to have been assigned a good and straight to the point critiquer!

    In regards to the missing plotted perspective exercise I just forgot to submit it!

    In regards to the rotating box exercise I will admit it was a bit rushed in regards to the fact that I have done draw a box before 3-ish years ago and had already finished lesson one.

    However I restarted because 1 I never had anyone go over my homework and 2 I was really rusty after not drawing for 3 years!

    If you want me to go over the rotating box exercise I am willing to sit down and give it my all while being as patient as possible.

    Here is the missing page!

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.
