Hey Guys, I have a question about the 250 box challenge.
How do I know which side of my box is pointed towards the viewer?

You should read the complete challenge first...
I had the same confusion as I just started working on the challenge. I found an answer from Uncomfortable somehwere in the comments (scroll down deep to about 1 year ago) under the 'How to Draw a Box 2' vido: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlJ6rwj3PKg
Here is his reply snippet copied: "To put it simply, the box is made up of six faces. Three faces point towards the viewer, three point away. Pick one of the faces that point towards the viewer and fill it with hatching lines. Any of those will do, as long as you pick one that isn't facing away."
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.
