Hello, I'll be looking at your boxes today and these are very good boxes I might add. I'll be honest I don't have a ton of advice to give you here. You were struggling a bit more with convergences on your first few pages so please take a look at this graphic. https://i.imgur.com/8PqQLE0.png Now your consistency went way up as you worked through this challenge and your boxes are very solid for the most part. I liked that you began challenging yourself a bit by trying to rotate your boxes and giving them a sense of movement. This is probably a good next step for you at this point. I also like that you are attempting to add line weight to the outer edges of the boxes. You were running into some problems with this so you might want to try ghosting your lines even when attempting to add line weight for now. I would also try and work in some hatching into your box warmups as well for extra practice. Overall, this was a high quality submission and your improvement with your boxes is going to come much more gradually at this point. Good luck with lesson 2 and keep up the great work!

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

Hi,

I have to admit sometimes working with line's weight is a little bit challenging. I will be working with it to get more precision thickness of my lines. That graphic helped me a lot with my boxes during this challenge.

Thank you for feedback and your time and have a good day.

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).
