Hi Benj
Sincere apologies for not uploading the missing pages!
Please see the updated album with the missing exercises:
Thanks very much for your helpful critique.

No stress! The missing paged whose siblings I'd seen look good (though please try not to doodle in the pages (or whatever is happening in your superimposed lines page, I'm not sure :P)). As for the rotated boxes exercise, it's looking solid. You might think that you've messed up, what with the box not being fully round, but we're happy to see the student try different things with each quadrant - it shows that they're willing to be bold, and experiment, rather than stick to the safety of what they know. It is a bit of a shame that those quadrants are such that you're missing some boxes, but given how much space the ones there have taken, that's understandable. The rest of your boxes are snug, and rotate comfortably, so it seems you've absorbed what you need to from this exercise, anyway.
Next Steps:
Onto the box challenge, then! And good luck!
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
