Hi, I'm a beginner too, so Im nit going to comment on everything you've done so far but only one thing. I think you should work more on your lines. I think you dont make them with your shoulder as they are still a bit wobly. I still strugle with it myself;)

Next Steps:

Work more on your lines using your shoulder more.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

I agree, Try to ensure that your lines are not wobbly. Be confident when you are doing your line work and don't hesitate too much even if it is at the expense of accuracy. If you want, you can try to use the exercises in lesson as warm up for your line work before moving on.

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).
