Most of these i feel like i did a decent job, some were a little a challenge but most i did understand. the only two i had a bit of a hard time with was drawing curved line for organic perspective and drawing circles for ellipses

The curves feel smooth and consistent and look pretty good, however the imposed lines seem to fray a a lot from both ends and are a bit wobbly on the first page. The second page does show improvement with confidence but still frays. Try to start at the starting point of the line and continue from there.

Hi Paranomalwar - I'd like to remind you that for future lessons you should use ink and paper instead of digital, as specified here. If you can't find a fineliner, you can use a ballpoint pen.

There is another existing review so I'll mark this lesson as complete. Good luck with the 250 box challenge!

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.
