It is with great satisfaction and personal pride that I can say that I have completed the 250 box challenge!

It was a very long journey, made up of many pisses, despair, failures, torn sheets, nervous breakdowns and tears of joy, but in the end I did it!

Yes I know that they are not absolutely perfect and there are many errors, inaccurate lines, cancellations etc. but in the end I can be extremely satisfied with the result. Also I can say that my confidence in drawing a box in perspective has gone up enormously from box #1 to #250. Now I hope to be able to continue with the next levels and the next challenges.

Thanks to the whole community for keeping this valuable artistic self-improvement tool alive.

P.s. feel free to criticize my boxes, point out my (many) mistakes and even feel free to have me redo it all in case I didn't do things correctly.

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.
