Why would you waste money on pen and paper if you have a digital solution.

Because pen and paper cost 10 bucks and digital painting is way easier?

digital is definitely not easier. The only thing that could make it easier is the undo button, which I don't let myself use.

I do the l lessons on paper and digital, and digital ist much Harder for me in regard of pen control.
Thats why I think its good to train on paper since you can check if the problem is the only your movement or also the interaction with the digital input medium.

Pen and paper dude. Follow the recommendations by the instructor. There is reason behind them A ream of paper and a pack of ink pens totals less than $4

Uhm what? The cheapest I could find was 500 pieces of paper for 10$ and 3$ per pen hah, (which I bought a couple of) Probably worth it though, unless my stupid ass gives up drawing for the millionth time! The 50% rule is killing me hereeee

It's a recommendation, it's no different than using a ballpoint pen instead of a fineliner

you guys realise not everyone wants to draw on 11 pages only to eventually throw them out right? digital also eliminates the environmental consequence

The environmental consequence of building a computer/tablet is greater than a pad of paper

To be clear I dont care if op uses a computer to do the lessons
you should consider the environmental impact of mining rare minerals and the fact that were terrible at recycling electronics. Also I would agree with you that a computer has more uses than a pad of paper, but that doesnt magically eliminate the environmental impact. Dont get me wrong, I love computers, i use computers every day for all kinds of things, Im not saying we shouldnt use computers. But we should be aware of their environmental impacts as well. Look up lifecycle analysis if youre interested on this topic.

The course makes certain recommendations, but students are allowed to make their own call. Sitting here berating them when they're asking for feedback on the work they actually did is not helpful. If anything, it is an act of self-indulgence, as we all know how pleasantly smug we can feel by lecturing people on their choices.
I prefer to think that our community is above that, and that we would act in the interest of helping people, or at least leaving them to their own devices should we not agree with their choices. It is entirely common for those deciding to work digitally not getting as much feedback, and that's fine - each individual has every right to choose how they're going to invest their time when offering it up for free. But this coming here, offering no actual feedback, and stepping on a soap box to offer only criticism of their choices is purely unacceptable, and you should feel at least a little ashamed of these comments.
For anyone else who is curious as to why we recommend the use of ink, you can read about it in this article.
/u/Ssnnooz, for what it's worth, I'm sorry that you got so many responses of that nature. As to your work, you're largely doing very well. The only thing you missed was this step of the rough perspective boxes, where we extend the "depth" lines of our boxes back in space to check where they actually hit the horizon line, and how far off that is from the vanishing point. Keep that in mind into the future, but you should be good to move onto the box challenge.

Your ghosted planes are still kinda wobbly, but the boxes are very good, so maybe thats already your progress
