I think you have to start from the start if you decide to go Patreon. The feedback you get is cumulative and often refers to previous issues. Self assessment or community assessment isn't as rigorous IMO. So Patreon is very much worth doing.

If you don't go that route then I would spend a few days refreshing your memory by doing some examples of previous exercises before restarting lesson 3.

Feel free to look at my official critiques if you want an idea of what you get for your money.

I think I am going to redo the lessons and join the Patreon team to get the official critique. I must say, that from looking at your official critiques, I am intrigued by how in-depth it actually was. As Moryph pointed out though, I would much rather do 50 boxes, which I am already planning on doing, than 250. Any idea if that would suffice?

Thanks again for your reply, helped out a lot!

I think I read that 50 boxes might be sufficient too. I am sure Uncomfortable will be able to answer this question authoritatively if you sign up.

I'll make sure to ask him on my lesson 1 submission. Thanks!

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).
