Hello Hootyhoo,

Thank you for taking the time to look over my homework and critique it :3

The speed thing is definitely on point, I tend to be speedy Gonzalez in general so that's a thing to improve overall and just take it slower + put more confidence in my lines.

I do tend to default to drawing from the elbow when I get into the groove of things. I'm trying to make a conscious effort to switch to the shoulder.

Regarding the rotated boxes, that was soooo hard. I want to do it again though xD

And about the line weight for the organic perspective homework, I think I cheated a bit here. While I tried to apply more pressure on the front boxes and less on the ones in the back, for some of them I applied a few superimposed lines.

Finally, thank you again and I hope you have a great week!

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).
