Pretty good overall, but you have some concepts to make sure to get.
1) "We're also going to draw a nice, swoopy line as you can see here. Imagine this line moves from closer up to the viewer and pushes back into the scene, getting further away" - you came toward the viewer at some point after the first box in each pane.
2) Place dots for every corner of every box, before drawing the line. This applies to every ghosted line from now on. This was rushed and it shows.
3) 3 panes per page is what was asked for. Please follow directions more carefully in the future.
Lastly I'd mention that when uploading in imgur, you can select as many photos as you want when you are uploading, and it will put them into a tidy album, that you can share the link of. When taking a picture of your work take the picture with your phone perpendicular to the page, and hold the camer closer to the paper.
I was a bit rude of you to not go back and correct how you uploaded when it was pointed out. Maybe now you see the effort I took far outweighs a little inconvenience on your time. You will be needing to do these critiques (5 of them( before you can submit your 250 boxes,
I would like you to reply with your first 2 pages of your 250 box challenge, as that relates to this exercise pretty well. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here.
Attach all the revisions I requested to this critique please.

You fixed the mistakes for the most part, and I’d say you are ready for 250 boxes.
In your future warms you will pick 2-3 exercises to draw for about 15 minutes before you tackle boxes each day.
1-2 pages of boxes a day @ 5-6 per page is a good target. Take your time and ask questions in #basic-challenges for this one.
Good Luck!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
