If you are familiar with Imgur maybe you can help me out. I submitted my Lesson 1 with Imgur and was able to get all pages uploaded and get a single link so that you could scroll through it all. Today I was not able to get any link for my 250 Box submission. I had 42 pages and it showed them when I was on the page, but when I used the link to come back to it, blank. No images. I tried fewer pages and got the same result. Everything was grayed out when I added the pages so there was no way to post it. I finally signed up for an account with Imgur with the same result. Finally, after a couple of hours of messing with it I just created an album (which I couldn't get a link for) and got individual links for each page. So my 250 box homework submission includes 42 individual links. Very frustrating!

Any ideas?

To create a post on imgur you only have to click on the top create new post button. Then you drop the images and after you add a title you click one of the two buttoms on the right, either share hidden or to the community, after clicking them you should have the link to your post

I get that. That's what I was doing. I can click the Create post at the top left, add images which I can see, but the To Community and Hidden buttons are grayed out. I can't select either one. All the other controls are grayed out as well. And it doesn't matter whether I add all 42 pages or a single page. I get the same thing. Even when I sign in and use my account I am unable to post pics. I was able to create an album. No link is available for the album, so I got 42 individual links, one for each image. That was all I could do. Seems like something has changed with Imgur. I got it to work fine on lesson 1.

That's weird, have you tried trying it out in another browser?

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).
