    Hi, I really liked your organic perspective boxes. It seems pretty solid. Though, you're struggling a bit with some of the rotations for this exercise which is perfectly fine given the difficulty but this was a good attempt overall. However some of your lines are wobbly. You need to work on the ghosting method and on drawing from your shoulder to get confident linework. The same thing happens with the tables of ellipses, it looks like you focus too much on creating a perfect line and you slow down while drawing which results in wobbly lines.

    As for the rotated boxes exercise, when dealing with complex spatial problems it'll help you so much to draw bigger. Also it'll look clearer if you shade the gaps between the boxes.

    I wouldn't recommend you moving forward with un-addressed issues as it will result in creating further issues on top of them.

    But you have potential and you need to use it. Working on lesson 1 over again might seem daunting, but trust me it will benefit your skill in the long run.

    Next Steps:

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

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.
