Hi~ So, the box section is the only one I’ve yet to critique, so I’ll look at that real quick.

Advice #1: don’t grind. The requirement is 1 page of the rotated boxes exercise, not 2. (Disregard this if someone on Discord told you to redo it- they shouldn’t have though; it’s fine.) Advice #2: don’t redo lines. If a line is wrong, it’s wrong. Rather than putting more ink in that area, just leave it as-is, and spend more time ghosting the next one.

Other than that this looks good. I will also recommend being more patient with your hatching, though. Either properly ghost each line, or don’t hatch. Sloppy hatching has the opposite effect- rather than making it easier to tell what’s what, it makes a mess of things,

Anyway, congrats on finishing, and GL on the challenge!

Yeah I've notice that I really need more patient not only with hatching but also spend more time on ghosting xD

Thanks for the advice! :D

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. 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.
