I'm sure you will. And you know what? It will feel amazing when it's done ;)
Good luck

Ok, I need to say something. I hated the 250 boxes exercise.
I probably should not have said it while Unfomfortable is watching but I really, REALLY hated it. I hated it so much that it took me 6 months to finish it. I'm sure that it was all in my brain but every time I had to draw a box, I felt almost a physical pain. And it was all im my head. It's not that the boxes are hard, it's just the idea of drawing 250 of them seemed terrifying to me. 250? IT'S SO MUCH! I was afraid that it's too much and that it will take ages to do it. So of course it did. ;)
So yeah... I think that maybe you're treating the lesson 5 as something more than just an exercise. Maybe insted of learning the construction, you're concentrating on how to draw perfectly? I'm not sure, but I just wanted to say that the struggle is real and you're not alone ;) Also, if you feel alone maybe try joinging the Discord. This way you can complain on how hard Draw-A-Box is with all the other students.
Cheers!

Weird. My fineliners work at an angle just fine. Maybe it's an issue with a particular brand? I mean, sure, I cannot draw with the side of a fineliner but a slight angle is ok.

Hi Rob,
Thank you very much for your critique. It was very helpful! I was not expecting that it will be so detailed so I was really pleasantly suprised. I'm really, really grateful for all the hard work you put into writing it. I will try to follow your guidance while doing my next subissions. Also I'm sorry for not reading the homework instructons more closely, I will do better next time!

My linework on Rough perspective is still not perfect, but I think it's actually getting better and better every day.
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 I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
