I do have to admit to rushing this lesson and letting other lesson material influence my work. I am going to try my best to take my time and stick to the material for this lesson. Thank you for your reply.
Another question in regards to confident line drawing:
At no point should your conscious brain be interfering with the execution of a stroke
Do you think ghosting lines with your eyes open then closing your eyes for actually drawing it sounds useful for an exercise?
Thank you

Thank you, that does clear things up.
I got an achievement for "sharing knowledge" but I don't remember doing anything to get it. Is it a bug to report?

Thank you for your response. I do remember some other questions I've had.
I've been drawing diagonal lines without turning the page. Should I continue drawing like that with the following lessons?
Also, in regards to increasing line weight, it's basically retracing a section of a drawn line, using ghosting and making sure they "flow" or "blend" properly back into the line, yes? I've been using my wrist for those so far.
Lastly, something I've noticed and received feedback on on my boxes are that while the parallel lines are converging better, they converge in two pairs a lot. To work on it, I've been ghosting my lines all the way to the VP, but I also get caught up in how far that line should go, since it also depends on other lines.
Something I noticed in the 250 box video is that a line is drawn first, and that is the starting line that will determine the rest of the angles and lengths of the following lines, but I plan out all of the lines in front with dots before drawing them, then when I think they look alright I'll draw out the lines in one go, then the lines in the back. Is there a set position for the VPs before we begin each box, or do they sorta change as the box is drawn out?
I've just been struggling with boxes and I feel like there might be something I'm not getting, or I might be overthinking it.
Thank you.

Thank you, I just have one question; are there set guidelines to how to do homework? Or is it just picking 2 previous exercises and reading through the content and practicing again to warm up?
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 we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
