    Nice, thanks for the reply!

    Thanks for the critique! In the first part, I was trying to make the far side smaller than the near side, but the mechanics of that was a bit difficult, because I had to coordinate the motion with also making the degree larger. I considered starting with the minor axis, then the near side, then the lateral lines and finally putting the far side "inside" the two laterals, trying to make it tangent to both lines, while aligned with the minor axis. Would that make sense?

    Thanks for clarifying!

    Thanks for the feedback! In particular, the part about point corners makes so much sense, I'll keep that in mind for future constructions.

    Thanks for the critique, Uncomfortable. I'll do the extra drawings in the next few days.

    Ah, okay! No worries, I just wanted to check.

    Thanks for the comments, Uncomfortable. I'll keep them in mind for the future lessons. One minor thing I noticed is that you wrote at the Next Steps to "move onto lesson 4". It should be 5, right? I don't know if this makes any difference in my ability to submit the next lesson, but who knows...

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.
