    Remember to not go overboard when doing drawabox lessons. Each one is designed to introduce a topic and build on it. I only say this because you did some spirals on the "superimposed lines" lesson, but the focus of that lesson was to make simple lines, not extreme spirals.

    your linework looks good.

    You could have drawn more boxes in the "organic perspective" exercise, but youre going to draw more boxes in the 250 box challenge anyways.

    Good job!

    Next Steps:

    work on perspective of boxes.

    Your linework is pretty solid.

    For the "plotted perspective," you were supposed to use a pen to draw the line back to the vanishing point, but it looks like you used a pencil for that.

    The horizon line is tilted a little in some of your drawings, so you could work to make them more level.

    Make sure your boxes' lines converge at a vanishing point. you can go over your previously drawn boxes and fix them to get better.

    Good job!

    Next Steps:

    work on perspective with boxes. dont rush horizon 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.
