Okay, so here's some quick notes on this, so that you may get your badge. Lines are solid. Ellipses are quite confident, though a little stiff in the ellipses in planes exercise. Don't be so conscious of the frame! Priority #1 is confidence! In the funnels exercise, be a little more mindful of the minor axis. It needs to cut each ellipse into 2 equal, symmetrical halves. Nice job on the rough perspective exercise, but don't redo lines. In the organic perspective exercise, though I notice some start/end points, it oftentimes feels like you extended your lines arbitrarily. Be a little more conscious of the VPs, please. Ghost to each one, from all lines. Try not to overshoot, too. If you can do it in the other exercises, you can do it here, too.

Anyway, congrats, and good luck!

Thank you very much for the critique! I've long since passed this and even redone lesson 1 completely through warmups while doing the 250 box challenge, but your critiques still are valid and very helpful. I appreciate it a lot!

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
