Hello, I have finally decided to restart DrawABox again and looking forward to see it through, I got green signal for lesson one earlier and was going to start 250 boxes before I stopped, this was last year.
My questions are:
A) Due to being in a remote area at the moment, I was unable to find the required fineliners in local market, first I was thinking about continuing with ballpoint pen, but they will not be allowed after 250box challenges, but I stumbled across a local product which has a soft point similar to fineliner, getting them online is not possible for me at the moment for some reasons, that too is not available in black and just in blue. So my question is, will that be enough for getting critiqued or do I wait months to get the required fineliners for lessons after the 250 box challenges?
B) Secondly, at that time I made my account in a rush so opted for the username haphazardly, I do not need to change it, but was just curious, if I can, as I was unable to find an option to change it on the website, and the username field is not interactable for me.
Thank you.

Colour is not a concern, but since ballpoint pens are allowed up to the end of the box challenge, that is probably what you should still be using (rather than introducing a third other type of pen to the equation).
As to your other question, you can send an email to support@drawabox.com from the address associated with your account and request that your username be changed.

Oh thank you, I will continue with ball point pen, oh and shall I restart lesson 1 (as its almost around 9 months since i did those) or just dive into 250 boxes with some warmups from lesson 1?
And I can't express how thankful I'm for you to provide such wonderful resources easily available for the world <3. Godspeed for your projects and my best wishes for your future!
Also sorry for the weird grammar in my post.

If I were in your shoes, I think I'd probably start over just to make sure that everything is fresh in your mind (so starting back from Lesson 0). Of course, that's up to you - you may simply choose to review the Lesson 0 material, then do a few longer warmup sessions with the L1 exercises - but you might leave yourself open to forgetting instructions/concepts.
The main reason I'd go with restarting fresh is that having left off at the end of Lesson 1, you're more or less just started, and it wouldn't be such a huge deal to spend a week or so starting over.
