My corrections. I had to send my other pages elsewhere to have them scanned, so these are new ones, with pictures taken from my phone.
I will admit, there is a lot of fear still associated with this process for me. I still don't think I have any better of an idea how to visualize these 3D shapes and I'm not certain the 250 boxes will help. I'm working on correcting ny hand tremor but these may be the straightest lines I am capable of. I don't know that for sure, but I often look back at lines that I ghosted and quickly struck in one solid, quick mark and I am shocked to find that it is crooked, wobbly and seems unconfident. The lines I draw with my wrist are both straighter and more accurate. None of the lines you see in these new pages are done with only my wrist.
None of this needs to be responded to of course, but I say it just in case it helps clarify my position.

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.
