Hello,

Make the boxes closer. For example, the boxes that are vertically rotated have a large gap between them. If the boxes are far then you would not be able to use other boxes as a guide for the edges.

And don't forget to use the ghosting method to get one smooth confident line, which apart from being a good practice will make it clearer for you in this exercise when you are drawing nearby boxes.

And finally, remember, as it is mentioned that this exercise is supposed to be hard, so don't worry too much about getting it perfect, just go through the instructions once more to make sure you are not missing anything.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the input. I'm giving it another shot. Right now I care less about a good drawing, more about UNDERSTANDING the principles. I just want to find out if i can understand drawing, then I'll worry about training my hand. This Exercise is scaring me..lol..

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.
