Thanks! By the way I really like this badge system, it motivates me to complete lessons!

It took some days, but here is my submission for the challenge. It definitely improved my perception of 3D space. However, I think my boxes seem to get worse instead of better, and that's because halfway through I realized I was only drawing from my wrist, so I started using my elbow as a pivot instead (really tried the shoulder but I just couldn't make it work). Also, at about box #180 I came to check other submissions and read that I was supposed to be correcting them with another color after every page so I kinda just started doing it after there.

Great! Thank you very much for taking time to help us beginners. I will get on with the challenge as soon as I can.

Hi Uncomfortable! I gave the first lesson a try thinking it would be easier than it actually was. Got a little messed up with the rotated boxes. Anyway, I
went trough the self critique notes and I tried (and failed) to avoid those mistakes, but I still feel like I need some feedback and direction from you, so here it is, my attempt at lesson 1: https://imgur.com/a/MhoZc
I used a ballpoint pen because I wanted to start right away and not procrastinate it, and that was what I had in my house (same thing with the sheets).
Also, I really liked your portfolio. I hope I can draw and paint like that someday. Very inspiring.

Hello, Uncomfortable! I found lesson 2 quite fun and challenging at the same time. For this one I finally got myself a felt tip pen. My textures may have turned out too cluttered, and that's why the first few were done on ballpoint pen (I tried some before that and felt that the tip of the other pen was too thick, then I realized I had bought a 0.7mm one instead of a 0.5mm one). Also, form intersections really started to click by the 4th page and I think they came out good enough. Overall, I really enjoyed this lesson. Here's my submission.
