I had some trouble with my pen at the start, so the ghosted lines especially are quite hard to see on the photos. I hope the pictures are good enough to give an idea though.

Thanks for taking the time to give critiques!

i have also just submitted lesson 1 and have been reviewing several others submissions. yours is one of the best i have seen. your lines are confident and wobble free. the last few pages in particular were very well done. no doubt you are ready for 250 box challenge. good work

Next Steps:

very well done. ready for 250 box challenge

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
