Thank you for continuing to work on this! Your new pages look a lot cleaner and your boxes are more solid feeling as a result, as well as your hatching looking much cleaner and deliberate, keep up the good work.

You still have a few persisting issues, namely, your extension lines being drawn in the wrong direction take a look at this for some more info. Both 14 and 17 have this issue, are you thinking about how the lines move away from you as you plan your box?

Next Steps:

If you would draw 10 more boxes in the manner of the last 20, being nice and deliberate. This time pay close attention to the direction you extend your lines and do y our best to extend them away from the camera pov, even if they diverge when you do.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

While i was drawing boxes like 14 or 17, i was thinking i was somehow below it and give me that kind of angle that the box would be. Maybe that was one of those issues i have. I'll work on it. Thanks a lot.

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.
