Thank you so much, I'm so glad my work paid off! :D

I definitely came out of it understand 3D space better, and being a lot more confident in my lines, so it was definitely worth the time and monotony :)

Here it is! :)

Well that went a lot faster than I thought it would. As in, I thought I'd take a month or so and ended up taking 9 days because I just got into the habit of drawing 1 to 3 hours a day. I did not rush through anything, although in the beginning I probably should have extended more the lines. But I did start doing it more consistently halfway through and it helped with spotting mistakes.

This was actually a great exercise not in drawing but in discipline, which historically has been one of my worst skills. I'm really glad that I'm finally pushing through that laziness and tendency to procrastinate and just get down to business.

Also, even though I used the same 0.5 fineliner for all of these, I was so happy to see how much better my line weight got, and my pen pressure control.

As always I'm really grateful to you for taking the time to look through these 250 boxes, and giving detailed feedback. And for testing my discipline.
