Thank you so much for the very thorough critique, Scyllastew! I will continue to reference this, and take additional notes. I also went ahead and did the additional assignment!

I wouldn't really consider those hairy lines, since his strokes appear to be confident. You can tell as he places the pencil down, the strokes are very energetic and swift. It's almost like drawing through your lines. It would be incorrect if the lines were more staggered and the person was an inexperienced artist.

Yeah, that's no problem! As long as you find it enjoyable and not difficult to transition between the two.

The lessons you have learned from drawabox are applicable to most of the things you will be drawing away from the lessons. If you're not struggling, then you're not learning. Even though you might not like the results of your own drawings, keep pushing through. It doesn't look like the reference? Critique it, then draw it again.
What you can do is purchase another sketchbook entirely for completed drawings. This will encourage you to expand your breadth and possibly help you from burnout which can happen if you strictly only do drawabox lessons.
In short, yes, push through. Draw whatever you feel motivated to do on the other 50. Just try to complete a sketch once in a while so you can develop your skills. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Thank you so much for your critique! I struggled a lot with the organic perspective exercise, so I will make sure to look more closely at uncomfortable's example, I will also take note of foreshortening! I appreciate you taking the time to help me!

Thanks for your reply! I'll do that next time I work on that exercise!

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.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
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.
