    Regarding your ghosted planes and boxes- a few of both the planes and boxes look very wobbly, ghosting a bit more can help with this. There's also a few planes with repeated lines- please try to avoid this in the future, as we have to accept that sometimes all the ghosting and prep still won't end up with the line going where we want it to go.

    Your ellipse pages have a lot going out of bounds, but in your funnels page, are really good- more ellipses are within the funnel boundary and are not overlapping as much.

    Next Steps:

    I think you're good to go for the 250 box challenge, but I would recommend using your shoulder and ghosting your lines a bit more so that they're not as wobbly.

    Ok, thank you for taking the time to critique- I noticed even with my ghosting I was pretty shaky. With the ellipses, would it be worthwhile making that a part of a warm-up until I can reliably put one over all four sides of a plane, or would that be considered grinding?

    Thanks again for taking the time to review, there's a lot of feedback that I'll take on board and focus more on slowing myself down.

    Hey, it should be there- checked the imgure album and it's just before my organic perspective sheets.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
