Thank you for the critique! While doing the superimposed lines again, i have noticed that i tend to either first arc the line upward, and then try to correct it by making an arc downward, or just make a big upwards arc in general. I'll make sure to include this excersise in my daily warmups.

Hi Pab, your lines may be curving but they aren't wobbly anymore:) You're using the correct technique (trying to curve the arch the opposite way to make up for it). With practice you'll definitely improve! You've also done the shading correctly on the rotated boxes exercise.

I've marked your lesson as complete.

Next Steps:

250 box challenge

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).
