Lines look very confident. Make sure when drawinf elipses you go trough them at 2 times.But in these early stages I'd recomend go over the elipses at least 3 times just build the mussle memory. Make sure to ghost the elipses first then go over them 2 or more times but don't over do it. Remember the horizontal lines of the boxes are paralell to the horizon and the vertical lines are perpendicular to the horizon line. Rotated boxes look slick. I'm very jealous of them by the way.

So, I'd highly recomend 250 boxes challenge and make sure to do your daily warmups exercises.

Your lines throughout these exercises are looking great! Rather consistently confident and accurate. There is occassional wobble and hesitation that I noticed when you were in rough perspective, but it happens, we're not aiming for perfection, it's just something to keep in mind! Always thinking about confidence and follow through. Hope you get your fineliner in, and if you can have some extras for backup! you'll be going through them I have no doubt.

Just as Farhanthenerd suggests I recommend moving on to 250 boxes Challenge! Good luck on your progress.

Next Steps:

Move forward to 250 box challenge

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
