Hi, this reply is quite late (haven't had the time to draw recently) but thanks for the critique!

I tried redrawing some boxes per your advice here: https://imgur.com/a/lOtXbsB

I wasn't able to get it down exactly right since my line accuracy has deteriorated from not drawing for a month, but I think I get the relationships betwen the inner lines more now after having practised with your references. I hope I've improved, even if just a little bit.

Please let me know if there are any glaring issues with my revisions or if I still lack understanding in my drawings. Thanks, and sorry again for the (extremely) late reply!

Your boxes have improved, they look nice and clean. The convergence has also improved a lot, there are some lines that are still a bit off but this is just a matter of practice. Time to time draw some boxes as part of your warm ups because the boxes are going to be really important in further lessons.

Next Steps:

Congratulations, you have done a great work.

Move to the next lesson!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep practicing by boxes as I move along the lessons.

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.
