Thanks. Tomorrow I'm going to do one rotated boxes exercise at least, what exercise should I also add to this daily exercise, I doubt it will take more than 45 minutes doing 1 or 2 of those. And I feel like I understand how to make the box face the point. https://imgur.com/a/KtAQB5Y

You could also practice exercises from Lesson 1 that you feel like you're struggling with, if you're feeling up to it. These boxes have good linework, but there is a lot of guesswork here too It's important to note the orientation of your boxes will be restricted.

Give yourself a second to think about how you're plotting your line.

And of course, continue focusing on your line wobbling. The exercises you've shown here are done correctly.

Next Steps:

Redo two more pages of rough perspective, focusing on how your lines behave according to this lesson. Continue keeping up the good work on your line wobble.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Remember; horizontal lines must run parallel to the horizon line, and verticles must run perpendicular to it. Try rotating your page based on what's comfortable for your shoulders and back, see if that helps.

Next Steps:

You are getting close! Continue to review the Rough Perspective homework exercise. Pay close attention to how your boxes are rotating against the horizon line.

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).
