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

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
