So if you recall you should be doing a warm up of 15 minutes by selecting 3 of the previous exercises that you have done of prior lessons.
Here's a link to that section if you need a refresher on the specifics: https://drawabox.com/lesson/0/3/warmups

As the system doesn't currently allow me to respond to a report directly, I must state here that I disagree with what you stated in your report, and feel that you may be overestimating what you should be expecting from free community feedback, which as you must remember is driven entirely by peoples' good will and willingness to give others' feedback and advice.
The critique you received discussed each major section, identified things you did well, and areas for you to work on. The "Mark as Unhelpful" option is reserved for cases where people have put in no effort, and have only provided empty platitudes.
In the future, keep in mind that the person giving you feedback is not receiving anything from you in return, and so you can only expect so much.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I will keep that factor in mind from now on ????????
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Drawabox-Tested Fineliners (Pack of 10, $17.50 USD)
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
