This is a pretty good submission, but theres a few things I want to note

  • in your superimposed you need to focus on making your lines fray just a little less on your starting point

  • in your ellipses you need to loop 2-3 times, no more (as I'm seeing a lot of excess looping)

  • im also seeing some wobbling in your organic perspective. this wobbling is also present in your ellipses, where you try to correct the shape of the ellipse partway through drawing it. instead, focus on having smooth, evenly shaped ellipses aiming to hit the bounds but not minding if you don't fit within these perfectly.

  • Otherwise, outside of your organic perspective exercises being a little barren, this is a good job, well done!

Next Steps:

Feel free to move on to the 250 box challenge!

Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

I'll try to fix up my organic perspective boxes with the 250 boxes challenge and also work on making more confident lines.

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.
