The lines feel a bit wobbly, other than that it looks pretty good and your curves look great as well.

Your elipsis are good and seem confident and the lines you executed in your boxex exercises are well planned and done.

Your rotated box is really well done

Next Steps:

250 box challeng! Off you go lad!

i'd recommend you to critique some lesson 1 submissions so you can compare and notice maybe some things that you are doing well and some that you aren't.

Yeah I think the same as DoodlesofDishonour, I saw a cube in the Organic Perspective that have perfect lines, they were not accurate but the line feels consistent and it's much better. I think you can improve much more if you try pratice those kinda of line!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

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).
