I'm pretty sure Uncomfortable agrees with you, but is a busy boi doing his thang. The 250 Box Challenge was updated just a few months ago, and if I'm not mistaken he plans on updating every lesson. I would expect Lesson 2 will be seeing some updates next, but that lesson is both dense and foundationally important, so it may take a while as he considers how to best make meaningful changes.

I would image it takes a tremendous amount of effort to restructure the lesson plans in a way that more effectively conveys the knowledge he has picked up on over the years, so I would just be patient for now and run through it as it stands - check back in a year from now and see what has changed; it can still be helpful to go through the "old" lessons while they're here!

I know I would certainly love to go back through the older lessons that have been removed (the ones that you can see in some of the more "outdated" videos) to see what he has decided to focus on and what he decided to cut, but that's more of an idle curiosity. Maybe older versions of this site are on the wayback machine, I've actually never checked.

Wait... Why have I never checked...

maybe adding some new lesson like building draws isn't a bad idea it will great for landscape drawings

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.

On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.

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.
