250 Box Challenge

I did it! Thanks in advance to anyone who's willing to critique ^^
.Hi there, and congrats on finishing the challenge! Looking through your work here, I see strong, confident lines and boxes that consistently converge towards their respective VP's. Using red exclusively for your line analysis was pretty rough on your busiest pages, though, which makes it very difficult to analyze. THAT SAID, I think your work is a solid foundation, and you're well on your way.
Next Steps:
Head on to the next lesson or challenge as you see fit.
Thank you for your feedback! ^^
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.
On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.
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.
