Hi! This took me too long lol, and if you have extra time can you give my lesson 1 homework submission review an agreement since it require 2 agreement and i only have one agree. Thank you :)
Hello AXYZLPQR, Congrats on completing the 250 Box Challenge! Here's my critique:
Sometimes you overshoot your lines in hatching and when doing the outer lines but its nothing to worry about
I would like to see more line weight especially because the other markers you use get on top of the lines and makes it harder to understand the box you are doing
The inner corner is sometimes off making the lines not always converge to a single point but its a common mistake and if you carefully plan each line and where they converge you'll see this problem disappear in the future.
Your boxes differ greatly in rotation and size so that's very good!
I've marked this as complete and good luck on Lesson 2!
Next Steps:
Lesson 2
Thanks for the critique!
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.
On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.
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.
