Hello again Yugen. Now your work seems better. However, I want to note some things, to help you improve your exercises and warmups.

  • In funnels, your alignment with the minor axis looks better. However, your lines don't seem to be very confident. Don't fear, ghost and execute with your shoulder. It's preferable a confident line that it's not super accurate (but tries to be close to the limits) than one that fits on the limiting lines of the funnels but looks really wobbly

  • In rough perspective, some lines are still a bit rotated, but it looks better than the other try. Keep working that ghosting to the vp, and try to get your lines parallels to the planes with infinite vps.

  • Rotated boxes looks now better, the work is more solid. However, I made a note about the vanishing points (https://imgur.com/a/9A2te0s). Be wary of how perspective works

  • Organic perspective is still kinda messy, and I think you are struggling with perspective. You have to remember that the lines that compose a box are directed to a vanishing point (in each box, 3 vps, with 4 set of lines directing to each vp). So, instead of getting away, they should converge (https://imgur.com/a/QNmaIID)

Next Steps:

I think now you can fight a bit better against the 250 box challenge. Remember to do your warmups prior to your drawing sessions, so you practice and get technique under your belt. Remember, use your shoulder and ghost your lines.

Good luck!

Thank you very much

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.
Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

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).
