I don't know where the line in the middle of them comes from, it didnt appear until i uploaded them to imgur and I don't know how to make it go away, something is up with my computer it seems.
This took me like 3 months because of work... but the grind never stops
Hello kennyken, I hope you are well.
Your boxes came out quite well. But what I noticed is that sometimes your lines converge in pairs, https://imgur.com/KSHwTwo this is what you do sometimes, we don't want that because we want all our 4 lines to meet in the same point, a vanishing point, as shown here https://imgur.com/8PqQLE0. That says to me that you perhaps lost your initial vanishing point. This diagram should also help you understand the angles of lines converging to the vanishing point. The inner lines have a smaller degree unless our box is long and it also depends on the position of our vanishing point. I want you to remember that our lines should always converge in one point, vanishing point, but they never meet in pairs.
Next on the topic of your line work. In the beginning it is quite wobbly, it does get better in the end but it isn't where I would like it to be. Make sure to commit to each of your lines, this also goes for your hatching. Also remember to be patient with ghosting and take as much time as needed for each line. Then when it feels right, confidently execute the line. Also keep in mind to use your shoulder with a locked wrist.
Lastly there are cases where you repeat the line. Try to not do that, even if you made a bad line, leave it and treat it as if it was the correct one. We don't want to correct our lines as it starts bad habits and teaches us that we don't have to commit to our lines. Leave your bad line there to be seen. Next time you try to make a line, don't repeat the same mistake you did the previous time.
That all that said, you didn't make any major mistakes in this challenge. So I will mark it as complete. Keep in mind what I said here and try to apply it to your warmup. Fixing your line quality would also greatly benefit you art for fun.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me,
Have fun on your journey,

I appreciate that. Now that i think about, I locking my wrist is my biggest issue. I think i focus so much on using my shoulder, I forget the other important aspects.
As for repeating lines, I took a break for a bit to study for SAT's, and... well, forgot that too.
I need to pay more attention to things like this, so thank you for pointing them out
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
