    Thanks Unconfortable again, for all the feedback!

    For drawing the cube in two point perspective part, I find the elipse method very unreliable if you don't have a varied set of elipse guide and your free hand elipses are still unstable.

    My set of elipse guide is quite small in size, and if I tried to use them to create cubes, I would either draw vehicles too small, or the initial outside box would be cluttered with division lines, plus repeated measurements would accumulate error.

    When drawing with a lot of foreshortening, like my aircraft carrier drawing, small changes in the minor axis of the elipse created big differences on where the object ends as they were long. With some experiments, I found just eyeballing a cube was close enough of what I would make with a free hand elipse, so I kept doing that for further drawings to ensure I had a big enough unit cubes to work on.

    The method of using Stationary points with a set field of vision needed a lot of different tools and space, especially if I wanted to draw boxes that are rotated in different angles. I guess I'll just have to draw a lot and compare them with 3D software like blender to develop an intuition for them.

    But this is just a minor issue. I'm glad I finished till the end!

    Thanks you for the critique! I did go hard on contour lines. I habitually drew a few loops when I drew a blob but couldn't wrap my head on how the 3d forms were shaped in the blank spaces. This exercise was a treat, I love drawing animals!

    Thanks Uncomfortable for your detailed critique! In the next steps section it says feel free to move onto lesson 3, is this a bug? (no pun intended)

    Thanks for the feedback! when i drew my rose, i was so lost in the clutter of lines that i swayed off of drawing every element fully. Next time ill draw them all, using line weights and shadows to define the lines as im going. Thanks!

    while i appreciate your detailed critique, it seems your writings of paragraph 2 and 4 are copy pasted, which sadly makes me doubt the sincerity of the rest of your critiques. I understand im only paying 5 bucks, but this kind of detail is enough to demoralize someone anticipating for a review.

    Thank you BENJ for the detailed critique!

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.
