I forgot to mention. There is a free app named "Office lens". This app could be used to scan your drawing. By using it, the image you get will not be in perspective ( as it is when you take a photo of your drawing), just like you scanned the paper with a photo scanner.
Thanks for your review!
I thought I would never get a reply after several weeks of waiting???? LOL.
I was using Sharpie Ultrafine before box 160 (roughly) and Sakura Micron (size-08, 0.5mm) after box number 160. Compared to Sharpie, I think Sakura is easier to control and the mark it makes is has more variation in line weight (if you tilt the pen a little bit while drawing). Honestly Sakura feels much better than Sharpie (my personal view????).
Please upload all the pages required so your work will be better reviewed.
As for the page you uploaded, you really grasped the idea of the exercise. The flow of the boxes feels natural and comfortable, and the size of the boxes increases gradually. Nice work.
But look closely, the perspective of the boxes are not good enough. The lines that represent parallel edges of a box should converge to a point when drawing in perspective. In your drawing, these lines are mostly parallel (which is not good enough) if not diverge (which is a mistake). Try to imagine the paper you are drawing on as a 3D space instead of a thin 2D sheet. Edges away from you appears shorter compared to edges closer to you. I find this tip useful to me.
Apart from the perspective, the long lines you make are good and confident. It seems you lose control over the short lines. These lines are wobbly and really has a unconfident feeling embedded. I definitely suggest you practice drawing more lines.
(This is the first time I made a critique...Hope I didn't make too many serious grammar mistakes...)
ThanksðŸ˜

Thanks for your advice!
👌 Thanks!
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.
