Hi, I would appreciate some critique on my boxes. I felt like a made real progress during the challenge and I hope the album reflects that. I was always struggling a bit with the lines in the Y at the back not converging properly but they are hard to get right I think. But I got a bit better at it later on I think.

Hello Elias_3000, the link in your post seems to be broken. Re-upload your submission and reply to this post, I'll then leave a critique.

Yeah, I made another post with the 250 Box Challenge because my album was wrong and I didn't know how to delete this original post

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.
