Partial Lesson 1 Submission (3 / 10 exercises)

This is just the first 3 assignments, but I wanted to get some feedback before I start moving forward.
I think you’d benefit from experimenting with a bunch of different speeds. Looking at the flick on the superimposed lines, and the amount of overshooting on the ghosted lines, I think you’re going a little too fast. Try out a bunch, and go for the one that’s the most accurate, while still being confident.
On a technical level, these look good! Just be careful that on the planes exercise, the non-diagonal center lines go through the center point of the plane (the intersection of the diagonal center lines.)
This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. 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.
I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
