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.

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.

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.
