In your superimposed lines exercise, I noticed some of your lines have black dots in the middle, and you may have drawn the line using multiple strokes. If you're having trouble following through with one full stroke, focus on your shoulder movements. Some of you lines are also fairly wobbly. You can try locking your wrist and elbow for a more consistent movement. I find that I tend to move my whole body along with my shoulder, which causes wobbly lines, so that's also something you could watch for. On the ghosted lines exercise, your trajectories are mostly very good, however, you are overshooting or undershooting lots of lines. As stated in the lesson, try to lift your pen off the paper as soon as you reach the end point. On the ghosted planes exercise, this will be a bit hard to explain over text, but some of your lines you used in the center of the planes (the ones used to define the parts where the ellipse touches the edges of the plane) are at the wrong angle. Try to keep them between the angle of the two sides of the plane it's not perpendicular to. For the ellipses themselves, some are not touching the edges fully (the same problem in present in the funnels exercise) and on some more stretched ones, they are not stretched enough. It also seems that you freehanded some of your box exercises, which you should use a ruler for.
Next Steps:
You can now move on to the 250 box challenge, while adding all exercises/homework in this lesson to future warmups. Make sure to choose three randomly to do as warmups at the start of each drawing session.
Thank you, I noticed some of these, but as the course said not to do more than recommended, I preferred to try to fix it in future exercises and warm-ups. But thank you very much for the criticism, and as soon as someone else evaluates me as prepared, I will continue on Drawabox.
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.
