250 Box Challenge

OMG! I have finished it - finally! I cannot express how happy I am :) Took me months - mostly due to my own inconsistency and will to give more focus elsewhere.
What the challenge did for me:
-
I did improve my understanding of a 'box in space' - despite non of them is exactly as it should (name it perfect)
-
I did improve my pen control, somewhere in the middle, I understood that full focus (along with ghosting ofc) is big part of the "success factor".
Other things I noticed:
-
Pen control is much better if I do not put a cap on the 'non drawing' end :) These few grams and shift of pen center of mass did make a difference for me.
-
Thick sketchbooks are a no-no. I used a 100pages, thicker sheets, spiral-bound sketchbook - my hand was often hanging in the air. This made it difficult to operate, ghost lines and eventually put lines on paper. I recommend just going with cheap printer paper.
