Hi Hall! let's just get right into all of your exercise

1. Lines for most the part all of your lines are great! even though i noticed that some of your lines are wobbly in your SIL exercise and it's okay cause you've done a great job on all of your lines exercise!

2. Ellipses good job on all of your ellipses exercise too! it is really difficult to draw ellipses ( but don't worry, just remember that this is all just an exercise or a fundamentals, not a final artwork :D )

3. Boxes i don't have any comments on your plotted perspective and rotating boxes exercise other than a great job! as for your plotted perspective, again you've done a great job on it! it is hard though because you are drawing it without a ruler, but atleast you understand the concept of doing rough 1 point perspective, and as for your organic perspective, i see that some of your boxes are elongated, they're supposed to be on the same size. Nonetheless congratulations on finishing Lessons 1 :D

Next Steps:

i request thou to do the 250 boxes exercise

Thank you for the kind words and critique overall!!

About the organic perspective boxes, I'm not too sure I understand what you meant about them being elongated... can't they have any proportions on that exercise?

I myself noticed that a few boxes, mostly in the 1st page are forshortened and that's probably because they have angles over 90 in some point, but I think I got more mindful of that as I went along haha

Again, thank you for your time, this was very much appreciated!

What i meant about the organic perspective is that some of your boxes are very long, and again, i think it's fine cause your organic perspective exercise looks very convincing and good :)

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.
