Okay, these are looking better. One thing I will say is that you tend to redraw lines quite a bit. Try and get more into the habit of just putting down a single line and leaving it alone. Even if it's not perfect. I wouldn't worry about not being able to visualize things in 3d yet or with getting smooth accurate lines drawing from your shoulder. Both of these skills will take time to develop and it's different for everyone. Just keep at it. I'm going to mark this as complete and good luck with the 250 box challenge.

Thank you. I'll take that on and do my best.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
