Thank you for your critique. Sorry it took me so long to reply back. Here is my re-do.

I think my wobbly lines started when I got frustrated with the 250 Box Challenge, and I ended up learning a bad habit by trying to take more time with my lines. I should probably go back and re-visit a lot of the exercises when I can, including the Texture ones. I think I'll start doing the Ghosted Planes over the Ghosted Lines as well.

(P.S.: For the organic intersections, the only reason I didn't draw through my ellipses is because that's how it was on the example at the end of the webpage.)

Hi, your ellipses and lines look way better here, great job! I'm sure they'll be even cleaner if you keep practicing. So, as promised, I'm going to mark this lesson as complete, good luck with lesson 3!

Next Steps:

Move on to lesson 3. Make sure to use some of the exercises from this lesson and lesson 1 as a warmup later on.

This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete, and 3 others agree. The student has earned their completion badge for this lesson and should feel confident in moving onto the next lesson.

Staedtler Pigment Liners

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).
