Hello and congrats on completing a challenge! I know that working through this can be mind numbing at times and you did a really nice job. I'm seeing a lot of improvement throughout the set especially when it comes to line quality and with your convergences as well. It's good to see that you are extending your lines back correctly and properly checking your work and you'll probably notice that your boxes were looking a lot less wonky the more you drew. One suggestion I can offer you is that your drew LOTS of your boxes with pretty extreme foreshortening. In future warmups when you draw boxes try and make the foreshortening a little less drastic. You can read the lesson here for more information. https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/1/foreshortening You have also done a good job adding lineweight to some of your boxes so that is nice to see as well. Overall, you've done some great work here with some solid improvement and I'm wishing you luck with lesson 2. Keep at it!

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

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.

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
