Good stuff! I can see a few places where your linework gets a bit hesitant (like the ghosted lines exercise), and in your box exercises you have a habit of reinforcing your lines automatically and correcting mistakes (both things you should be avoiding, in favour of putting down a single, confident mark and moving on), but all in all you're doing a solid job.

Also worth mentioning, your organic perspective boxes need work to get the parallel lines to converge together properly but that's a normal thing to see when people do this exercise early on. The 250 box challenge helps with it.

Next Steps:

Move onto the 250 box challenge.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

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.
