    Thanks for the reply! I am adding the exercises from lesson 1 as a part of my warm ups. I will be sure to focus on being more confident in my lines.

    I was wondering if you could explain more the specifics of the critics you have? I know I made mistakes with not using my shoulders enough, not having confidence in my lines, and gripping the pen too tight, but I'm not sure if this is the same mistakes you see.

    Which pages do you think I should remake? Which did I particularly fail on? What were my most common mistakes? I'm typically very hard on myself about my progress and so to me everything is a mistake. If you narrow it down, it can drown out the noise. I look forward to hearing your feedback.

    I used the specified fineliners (Staedtler triplus fineliner in 0.5mm) as mentioned to the other poster. I think the confusion comes from my tight grip of the pen and how I find myself pushing too hard down on the paper (maybe it makes the lines look a lot thicker). Sorry about the color switch up. I started running out of ink in the pen I was using half way through the page. Thanks for the feedback!

    I use the exact fineliners specified. I just have them in all the colors, but black. Sorry for the confusion. All of my work is done using the 0.5mm Staedtler Triplus Fineliners. Doing the box challenge, which I will post later, showed me the lack of confidence in my stroke and it's what I dedicate most of my time to correcting as well as my need to grip the pen tightly. Thanks for the feedback!

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
