Hey, I’ll be grading your home work today.
So, in regards to extended lines, these look good. They’re all extended away from the viewer like they’re supposed to be. Pretty much all of them converge and none are parallel either, so good job there.
Your hatching is really good at indicating which face we’re looking at on the boxes and I didn’t notice much fraying. It was a bit wobbly here and there, but not consistently enough to be a problem, if you ask me.
Your line weight was a bit odd. On most of the boxes, I really only could see it at the corners when it was supposed to be at the outer edges of the box essentially, but it is there to be noticed.
And when it comes to the orientation of your boxes, you had a lot of variety in them, which is also good.
Overall, your boxes are all great, to the point where I learned something out of grading them. I say you’re ready to move on to the next set of lessons

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
