I'm Brazilian and I don't speak English well, but I'll try.

First of all congratulations on your dedication!

On pages 8 and 9, with the quadrilateral divided into halves simulating perspective, with the ovoids drawn inside, I saw in a Peter Han video that you should draw such ellipses with the inclination of the greater diagonal of the quadrilateral, if they are circles in perspective , so that the most distant ends of the ellipse almost touch the most distant corners of the quadrilateral.

Was I clear?

Inspiring to see the dedication to the exercises!

Makes you want to draw.

Thanks

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
