Thank you so much for this. I have been looking for a new outlet since I have gotten a physically demanding job and can't do my old hobby due to joint pain. I started drawing about a month ago with no prior experience and I have been looking for a lesson plan just like this. I could go on for longer but instead here is my homework for lesson 1. I have been going back and working on all three sections of the lesson since it's clear I'm having trouble drawing clean but my understanding of drawing in a 3D space has grown. I have been having a hard time drawing from the shoulder but it's gotten easier the further I progress through the sections.
Edit: I don't know if it makes a difference but I was using a fine point sharpie since it's all I have at the moment. If it does let me know and I'll make a trip to the store for some felt tip pens.

Here's my box challenge! It took me a lot longer to get done than I thought it would. I started it a few times and had to scrape those tries till I was ok with my crappy boxes. I used this challenge to practice holding the pen different, using different size felt tip pens, and using different techniques to make the boxes.
Here's a link to my first lesson where you suggested I do this challenge next I've been redoing the first lessons in between working on this and lesson 2. I'm still having a hard time getting clean lines but I've noticed a little improvement. And again thank you for this. It's been extremely helpful.
