Hi,

dont know much what to say, just trying out and thinking about the subscription, but I am not sure if I will always have time to do all homeworks before its too late. Also something about my skill, I didnt draw all my life, maybe a little when I was a kid and then I focused more on drawing when I was a teenager for like 2-3 years and then stopped cause I was really scared I dont have any chance in this field, now I have massive desire to continue again and keep going, so yea I am still a begginer but I have big dreams and little bit less scared.

Thank you.

your super imposed lines were fraying from one end which is fine. your ghosted lines look straight as well. in the 1st page of the ellipses in table exercise, your ellipses werent aligned next to eachother snugly, however in the 2nd page you reduced the mistake by a great margin. ellipses in planes were done really neatly but in the second page on the bottom right one was messed up. the original plane was not clear. rough prespective was done well bitvtye boxes had wobbly lines. rotated prespective was done really well and you achieved the purpose of the exercise. organic prespective however could use some work since the boxes weren't looking as if they were moving away from the viewer and they were too close to eachother. overall solid work!

Next Steps:

next comes the 250 box challenge, a necessity before you move onto lesson 2. it may seem long and nerve wrecking however slowly and surely you will develop the understanding of box rotating in space in terms of 3 point perspective as well as producing clean lines. dont worry about not improving most people notice their boxes improving after box 150-160. remember to use your shoulder!

Yes, but I also need to ask, when you draw the boxes, and you refine the lines like giving them weight, do you also do it with like ghosting and then like superimposed lines? Cause I feel like I just ruin it. My guess is like doing it till it gets better, am I right? Thanks in advance.

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.

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.
