I hope this is alright.

Rotated Boxes

8:23 PM, Tuesday March 26th 2024

Hey, thanks for submitting this. :) It's a good attempt - you've kept the gaps between the boxes tight and consistent, which has given you good cues about where to place the next one, at least on the front planes. There's a level of hesitancy in your linework as a result of focusing hard on hitting the endpoint, so don't forget that whilst we're carefully planning things out, we're executing confidently. Accuracy will improve with time and practice.

As to the boxes themselves, you didn't manage to capture the full range of rotation, tending to follow the vanishing point of the box you previously put down, though naturally as mentioned before, we don't ask or expect any level of mastery from students at this point and the 250 box challenge is your opportunity to address both your boxes and your line confidence.

Next Steps:

Feel free to move onto the 250 box challenge.

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
