First of all,thank you for such precise,long critique and explanation.Apreciate it

Second-sorry for my not perfect English (possible some mistakes here and there),not my native language and I dont bother to use Google Translator to check everything. Don't have so much free time-prefer to use it for drawing boxes;)

About Imgur- yes, I made new album (called Drawabox Lesson 1) .Then I loaded there all pictures concerning my homeworks. Still only option I saw when I was in that album was sth like: "create links for pictures"-and yes,it created separate link for each picture;/

Would be nice to find solution before sharing new part of homeworks.

About Staedlers-tnx for tip, will try in future maybe,but now I've bought few Sharpies (matter of expenses;/),they have to be enough for now.

If, when;) I will sink deeper into drawing I will probably buy sth better=will try Staedlers for sure.But tnx.

To the exercises:

About unfinished ghiosted planes;As I mentioned-these were additional charts,from warmups (already made in ink).Original 2 (were still in pencil) are reused for ellipses later. Edit: I see yo've already seen that;0

Don't know how "marking lesson as complete" is working.Do I need official green light to do another lessons-in this case 250 box challenge.Or is it more green light for sumbitting to review next works?

About funnels-tnx and yes.I'm aware about that narrower-wider case. But as I understood video explanation, that was and "optional" choice, lvl 2 ;) Because I was rushing and already bit tired (made lesson 0 and 1 in 5 days),I've chosen easier way for this exercise;)

Yep,your rotated boxes is great;)I understand your explanation and see my mistakes.

I was aware that those border boxes should be smaller and smaller but I was fixed a little about that "avoid distortion and foreshortening" advice;) and finally I got what I did...

"To improve it I would say you should rather than replicate the same box from different rotated versions, try to make it turn in other ways too"-yes, I will do that with next warmups but at that moment I was just focused to make them look as "correct" as I could do them.And ofc to "avoid foreshortening" golden tip ;) But yes,now I see and understand that rotating 360 degrees issue.

One more time,tnx for your time and all explanation. Will do better next time;)

Hey,

Don't worry about it, I'm happy to help :D

Here I've made a little imgur upload that should help you to upload multiple images and share the link.

Yeah I'm going to mark your lesson as complete now :D I just needed to reply to a response you sent to me for it to give me the option.

Next will actually be the 250 box challenge where you'll have lot's of opportunity to experiment with different boxes!

Next Steps:

On to the 250 box challenge! It'll be long and hard but you can do it!

Good luck and do your best :D

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.
