Yoh o/
Just finished the first lesson so before i start doing the 250 box challenge if you have any feedback/advices i'll gladly take any of it :)
I used a ballpoint pen until the plotted perspective homework, then i used a 0.4 feltpen.
Still have some trouble drawing with my shoulder, i often end up using my elbow.
Oh and i hate ellipses :

MeownsterHunter here. I will be critiquing your submitted home work .
Lines:
Your straight lines are confident, does not fray at starting point. The longer lines do arch a bit , this might happen mostly because of not using the shoulder pivot. If you are using shoulder pivot and the lines still arches you might arch the line consciously in opposite direction to balance out.
Curved lines are a bit wobbly .This can happen when you try to make very precise marks. In drawabox you should always prioritize confidence over accuracy.
Fantastic work on the ghosted planes. You plotted the dots for all of the lines.
Ellipses:
You are doing a good job drawing through your ellipses in the ellipses table .A few ellipses in ellipses table are deformed. you can fix this by drawing from the shoulder and focusing on consistent smooth ellipse shapes .Accuracy tends to come with mileage and consistent practice .
In the ellipses in plane section you are drawing your ellipses more than 2-3 times.
On the funnels section some of your ellipses have tilted minor axes. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/notaligned . One thing you could have done with these is start with a narrower degree ellipse in the center and then widen the degrees of the ellipses as they move outwards in the funnel. Like here :https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/step3
Boxes:
Your plotted perspective is fine .
On the rough perspective exercise you have plotted two vanishing points instead of one.
Also Keep in mind that since this is one point perspective all the hight lines are parallel to each other and are perpendicular to the horizon line and all of your width lines should be parallel to the horizon . Another thing to keep in mind that all the boxes/ straight lines you draw should be dotted -then ghosted - then drawn.
You have done a good job on the rotated box . This is a great exercise to come back to after a few lessons to see how much your spatial thinking ability has improved. One thing to keep in mind that the boxes in the outermost row and column are not rotating. You can read more about that :https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/notrotating
Your organic perspective exercises are looking pretty good. It will become even better after completing 250 box challenge.
Overall this was a solid submission .
Next Steps:
Feel free to move onto The 250 Box Challenge
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.
