Hello there, I know it's been almost 2 months since you last replied. I took a "break" per say but it was really just me angry at myself for my lack of skills. I returned back to give Drawing a 3rd shot and I seem to be better than the last time. Like Uncomfortable said, it's all about patience and overtime I will improve. Getting a fresh look at things again, I even looked at other videos such as pivots and ghosting. I learned more from watching those videos again after coming from my hiatus than I did watching them the first time when I was trying Drawabox.

Anyway I redid the pages you wanted me to re-do, I said what I said above because others can learn from my reaction in their futures and I wanted to explain my long hiatus.

Uncomfortable was right, it's all about patience and overtime skills will improve.

Welcome back! Learning new skills can be challenging but also very rewarding. These homework assignments are meant to be difficult but that is why it is good to spend 50% of your drawing time on just having fun and now worrying about the end result too much.

Your new pages show lots of improvement. Your ellipses look clean and consistent. Be sure to ghost each line for your boxes and aim for that one confident stroke. Overall, well done and I think you are ready to move on to the 250 box challenge. Good luck with your boxes and don't forget to draw for fun!

Next Steps:

Move on to the 250 box challenge.

I want to know If I should repeat the repeat the Rotated Boxes excersie. I only used 2 boxes for it's X and Y axis. But it isn't a sphere or sphere like. It still has that Bent CubishShape.

I don't think you should repeat the rotated boxes. This exercise is meant to be difficult. You aren't expected to be perfect at this, you just need to follow the instructions to the best of your current ability which it looks like you did. You will get plenty of practice throughout the following lessons so there is no need to try to achieve perfection.

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.
