The one piece I just could not wrap my head around was the rough perspective. I'm not sure how to plot the smaller (farther) edge properly and the video just kind of.. did it? I don't know how to estimate where to place it without using a ruler and as you can tell 99% of the edges didn't match up to the point. So if anyone has specific tips or a video that could help for this that'd be much appreciated !
I would say you're doing well! The back edge may seem mysterious at the moment but now that you're moving on to the 250 Box Challenge, you will be working with vanishing points a lot more often. Dealing with finding these edges with the Y-method and such will become more intuitive with time. After knocking down the boxes during the challenge you will find that when Rough Perspective comes up in your warmups rotation, you will have an easier time with finding that edge. Just keep up your ghosting!
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
