Not really expecting much comment on these, but anything is welcome. My lines are improving as I get a bit more practice with the pen, although I still have a bit of problem thinking of where some of the lines should end when drawing boxes, so I overshoot sometimes. That's probably just a matter of experience, and the 250 box challenge should take care of that in the end.

Going to need to revisit the Rotated Boxes exercise after I get the challenge done, at least for my own satisfaction. I drew it much too small, and I'm pretty sure I added an extra box at the lower left that shouldn't be there. But that won't be for a while.

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.
