Goodmorning everyone. I ended the challenge in the 250 boxes. I'm glad I did it more because it's unusual for me to be able to finish something so long, so I'm glad of this, despite having taken about 1hr per page and, on average, 2 pages per day (so finishing in little more than 2 weeks). I hope the timing is right and it didn't take too long

However, I am not sure that I did the exercise in the correct method. I followed the video but I'm afraid I didn't play it correctly (also because I had some uncertainty when translating the videos into my language).

I did it like this:

1 I made the four points and "joined" them forming the Y.

2 On each arm of the Y I pulled a line in a different direction.

3 I tried to pull the remaining lines trying to make them converge at the point where, more or less, I thought it was the vanishing point.

Is the procedure correct?

Nice job finishing the challenge! And don't worry, your process is correct.

Everything is looking good as far as I can see, you've achieved what this challenge sets out to teach!

Next Steps:

Go on ahead to lesson 2!

Gotcha. Thanks for your comment, I feel a little more peaceful.

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).
