Oh, thanks, and also not really
For this one I kind of scribbled randomly but I did try to make some repeating single symbols here and there to give the impression of the existence of grammar items like conjunctions or linkers and actual letters
So I guess my advice would be exactly that: try and repeat symbols and group of symbols here and there to make people think that it is an actual language and not just random scribbles

Perfect, thanks, your critique generally lines up with what I myself noticed and also something more
I'll of course keep doing my warmups, probably focusing more on ellipses
But now it is time to prepare, the 250 boxes challenge awaits!
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. 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.
I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
