I'm mainly a self-taught artist, and decided to take the Drawabox journey after coming to the realization that I mainly drew with my wrist. I look forward to the critiques!

I notice that you have the ghosted ellipses but not the planes of the first part, so could you post that to get the review?

Next Steps:

ghosted planes

I think they used their ghosted planes exercise on ellipses on planes exercise as suggested. I don't see a problem

I would say you should go back to the drawing from your shoulder part of lesson one as it feels like your lines are still a little nervous

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.
