My family doesn't have paypal and credit card to apply for Patreon. So I hope to get reviews from here instead. Originally I wasn't going to post any of my homeworks but the people from Drawbox Discord server convinced me to.

Hello Minnori, I hope you're doing well.

I'll be dividing this critique into 3 sections. Lines, Ellipses, and Boxes.

I'll be starting with your lines.

Overall, I think that your lines came out very well. I see that you're prioritizing getting confident and straight lines instead of accurate ones, so great job.

I also see that your superimposed line exercise came out fairly well. There isn't much fraying at the start. They're nicely done.

Moving onto your ellipses.

Your ellipses came out very smooth and confident. They're also mostly well kept in bounds, and on your funnels exercise. they're well aligned to the minor axis. You did a good job on those.

Lastly, your boxes.

On your rough perspective exercise, you did a great job on forming the boxes with confident and straight lines.

Your rotated boxes exercise also turned out very nicely. Well done.

On your organic perspectives exercise, they're mostly well done, but I do see some convergence errors here and there. However, it's not a very significant thing to worry about as on the 250 boxes challenge, you'll get many chances to practice those.

Overall, fantastic job on all of your exercises. I'll be marking this lesson as complete and you're free to move onto the 250 boxes challenge. Good luck!

Next Steps:

You're free to move onto the 250 boxes challenge.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
