Spent about four weeks drawing boxes...

Really a tough assignment to be honest...

Please give me some critiques on these boxes, many thanks!

Fabulous. Haven't seen such clear straight lines yet. Nicely done. Can I know what size pen you had used(was it 0.5?).

Next Steps:

On WTF, you could make it non-WTF by making the hiding at the back thicker.

There is a very curvy line in the box number 200.

You gotta go ahead for lessons.

Would like to get my work reviewed by you.

Thanks for your review!

I thought I would never get a reply after several weeks of waiting???? LOL.

I was using Sharpie Ultrafine before box 160 (roughly) and Sakura Micron (size-08, 0.5mm) after box number 160. Compared to Sharpie, I think Sakura is easier to control and the mark it makes is has more variation in line weight (if you tilt the pen a little bit while drawing). Honestly Sakura feels much better than Sharpie (my personal view????).

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
