    Hello Rob,

    Thank you so much for such a detailed response highlighting areas where I did good and where I could improve. Did not expect such a detailed feedback.

    I shall work on what all you mentioned. Especially the ellipses tilting from the minor axis.

    Honestly I wanted to retry the rotated boxes exercises rather than sending that one in. However the lesson mentioned to just finish it and not expect perfection so I just submitted it. Overall I would say it was probably my favourite exercise. Really made me think about how to rotate. And although while making the dots (for ghosting method) for the line I would feel I over rotated it, after finishing the box I would realize I did not rotate it at all. I can see why Uncomfortable told to just finish it and not go for perfection. I shall revisit it after the 250 box challenge.

    Sorry about the organic perspective. Somehow I missed that. My bad.

    I think I understand what you mea about relying on parallel lines for my boxes. I did have some trouble with certain boxes and would always feel I'm doing them the same way. Your feedback confirms what I thought but couldn't pinpoint. I'll keep that in mind.

    Thanks again mate. Have a good one.

    Anyway... as you have given me permission to continue my journey, onto the boxes challenge I march! I shall tackle the realm of these infamous boxes with all my might. See you on the other side!

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.

On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.

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.
