Hello Teru0x0,

Lines

Superimposed lines seem to have wobblying, especially in longer lines, remember to draw from your shoulder and to focus on confidance over accuracy.

Ghosted lines seem to have the same wobbly issue.

Elipses

On planes while focusing on touching the sides is important dont focus too much on that since it will make your elipses look square like, also remember to use the ghosting method and making your motion swift and fluid.

I like your tables, i can see improvement from the first to the second which is a good sign. keep focusing on confidance and accuracy will come with time and repetition.

Your funnels are nicely aligned but remeber elipses should be touching.

Boxes

Really nice boxes, Rough perspective is really good as well as your rotated boxes, just some really minor alignement issues and the fact that the last box could be rotating more.

Organic perspective is nice, it would be good to experiment with different sizes next time. Also when adding line weight be carefull to not over do it, keep it to one superimposed line.

Next Steps:

Onward to 250 Box challenge and good luck :)

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.
