Line wobbling is a result of not drawing confidently and instead hesitating while creating your line, likely from stressing about accuracy. This was gone over in lesson 1, you can refresh yourself on the steps of creating a line here.
As for your question about vanishing points, the intent of the challenge is to improve your understanding of 3D space without explicit vanishing points, they should only be revealed upon extending your lines.
Hey Tofu, I was able to complete the 100 boxes here is the link: https://imgur.com/a/po72V2x
While there's still room to keep improving these are a huge improvement over your original 250, good work.
There are still times when you have lines that diverge or converge quite wildly which may just be a matter of paying attention and planning.
If possible try to think back on the process you had while creating box 325 and compare it to 345. 345 is a good example of you following the intended process while 325 it seems like you may have gotten a bit lost mid way through.
Overall though I'm glad to see that you're demonstrating a better understanding of the concepts introduced here, and I have no doubt you'll continue to improve as you practice boxes in your warm ups so I'll be marking your submission complete.
Keep practicing boxes and previous exercises in your warm ups and best of luck in lesson 2.
Next Steps:
Move on to lesson 2.
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
