25 Texture Challenge

Here's the 25 texture challenge! Worked pretty hard on it and learned something, but mostly I learned how much there is to learn about texture. Any critique is appreciated.

Beautiful textures! There were a few textures that didn't entirely go from pure shadow and pure light (such as 1, 12, 15, 23), but these came close in accomplishing that. It also appears to me that you were drawing forms in the 2 foliage compositions. It would have been better to capture the texture of the surface of an individual leaf rather than a group of them.
Overall your textures are great and look like they accomplish the goal of the challenge. Great work!
may I ask what pen you used on your activity?
I used a pentel 0.5 pointliner and filled in the dark blacks with a brush pen. On one of them did edges with the brush pen too.
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.
