Hi!

A good training is to practice superimposed lines, ghosting every line before committing it to the existing one(s).

I usually do this during my warm up with the Ellipses in Planes, because it gives me a mix of curved and straight lines.

It takes a ton of practice to develop a consistent accuracy though.

Superimposed Lines and Ellipses in Planes are Lesson 1 exercises. You can definitely practice these during your warm ups while tackling the Challenge.

Good luck with those boxes.

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.
