I would say you did a very good job overall. Your lines are straight and confident. I noticed that they sometimes have a bit of overshoot, which can be normal and is something you could look out for. But just in case, make sure you're taking time with every line you're doing.

Your ellipses are confident and smooth in general but keep in mind that the ellipses must be drawn through 2 to 3 times, (2 times preferably). Your ellipses already look quite accurate so in the future try to go through them only 2 times.

You did a good job overall with the boxes as well, just don't forget not to repeat lines even if they're wrong, as repeating them makes the drawing messier. On organic perspective you should start with the corner that is going to be closest to the viewer. The resulting Y shape often has angles greater than 90° between each line. On some of the boxes you have an angle less than 90° which resulted in a wonky perspective.

Next Steps:

First of all, congratulations on finishing lesson 1! Your next step is the 250 box challenge.

Good luck on the box challenge, and keep up the good work!

Hi Robo!

Thank you for your feedback, I'll keep in mind all your suggestions.

The ellipses were a hard part for me and i believe that's why i felt the need to ghost them a lot and I draw through them more then 2-3 times. I'll work to improve all this aspects in the future.

Thank you again for putting your effort in helping me!

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.
