[I srewed up and used the wrong link. So here is the homework with the right link. I'm really sorry.]

I didn't feel comfortable uploading this Lesson. So I went a head and continued on the next Lesson. But sometimes it is important to challenge your fears. So I present to you my Lesson 2 .

Even though I did the 250 Box challenge I still feel that my boxes are off and wobbly at times.

I also kind of missed the tasks on the texture Analysis homework. I shaded way to much instead of breaking down the core of the textured. But I tried to learn from my mistake and applied a more constructional approach to the organic intersections.

It took me a while to grasp the Form intersection exercise and I tried to re evaluate my mistakes and understanding of it. So I did some more practise on it. I attached one little exercise to show how I improved my understanding of it.

I think I will redo the 250 Box challenge at some point. Or at least draw some more boxes until I feel more confident with my lines

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.

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).
