Thank you for the critique!
There is a little part I didn't understand : For the Mug, the form of the object is actually tapered. That means according to you I should add "additional cross-sections along the length of the mug's main cylinder". I didn't quite understand what it meant. Should I add contour lines that are perpendicular to the cylinder's axis?
Thank you :)
Here's a quick example of what I mean: https://i.imgur.com/i79AvPA.png
You're on the right track with "add contour lines that are perpendicular to the cylinder's axis" - except the point is that you draw those cross-sectional slices first to lay out the structure and the way in which the form tapers, and then build the form by bridging across them. Arguably you'd get the same result one way or the other, but approaching it this way allows you to pin down the specifics of the form you want to construct more easily, which helps with more complex situations.
Oh all right! Thank you!
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.
