Hi Tem,

Good work! Here is a short critique (other members of the community can developp if they wish...):

Lines

You've done a great work, precise and confident.

Ellipses

Great job but you have to increase your acuracy. You may perhaps slow down a little and especially don't forget to ghost before drawing it's very useful! Remember than each side must be tangent to the ellipse.

Boxes

Nice work that will have the opportunity to improve during the 250 box challenge...

Very nice try on rotated boxes!

Next Steps:

Next the 250 box challenge!

Remember to repeat lines and ellipses exercises during warmup during this challenge!

You may need to focus on ghosting more before drawing your ellipses.

Remember that the main thing is to draw confident lines: If it's wobbly, speed up! If it's not accurate, slow down! If you struggle at it, ghost more! ;-)

Congratulations! :-)

Hi Loopkin,

Thanks for the critique, I appreciate you taking the time to give a 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.

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.
