You may find some insight from watching how ScyllaStew approaches her boxes, you can find her approach here.

Other than that ultimately remember that perfect boxes aren't the goal, this challenge is just meant to help improve your understanding of 3D space. While you can (and should) strive to improve your boxes don't get hung up on the results so much that you prevent yourself from moving forward.

Oh yeas I watched those :) I find those essential.

I understand your worry there. I do make myself move on with the tasks.

The reason I was asking is my mind works in formulas and when I understand

things better I do them better. I make analogies and look for dependances in everything.

When I find the right ones it just clicks in my head and it becomes effortless.

Perfect analogy here: is when Neo sees the Matrix :P

I find it mostly through practice but tips and tricks often speed up the process so I was curious if you knew any.

Thank you for responding and for your time. I really appreciate what you guys do :)

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
