you don't need to draw a whole circle for your mark just a dot is enough~
keep practicing ghosted lines trust me once u nail it to level 3 line quality everything u draw then will look nice to you
same goes to ghosted planes (confident > everything) and execute it fast
to ellipses goes the same you need that confident too and you really need to draw it fast so those lines don't look wobble
funnels you gonna need to apply from narrow to wider (like a coin or cd as it turns you will see more side of it)
boxes~ right after you draw a line just leave it there don't be like ahh tilted a bit i'm gonna draw 1 more over it to make it stable . nono thats not good just leave it there and try too draw bigger like the whole page so u understand whats going on there
the organic perspective look like all those boxes are same size (rmb farthest the smaller , closer the bigger
don't need to be pretty but i want you to at least understand the concepts of all of it , building confidence , be bold whatever you put down, how everything can be manipulated in space.
Next Steps:
DRAW GHOSTED PLANES FOR WARM UP
BCUZ FOR THE NEXT LESSON U WILL BE NEEDING DRAW AT LEAST 250 BOXES
NO WOBBLE IS THE KEY NOW AND BUILD UP YOUR CONFIDENCE TO PUT DOWN A NICE SMOOTH GOOD LOOKING LINE:)

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.
