Thanks for the assessment. I'm not drawing lightly on purpose, thats how the ink flows from the pen. I'm using the ones you recommended. If I hold the tip down, more ink flows but then im pressing to hard. I think im going to go back to my rotring pen, it doesn't seem to have that issue with me. I'm sure its user error.

I'll go back to lesson2 and find away to get in more practice, I deal with annoying health issues that zap my energy, which is frustrating because I know I can do much better too. I'm going to slow my roll and accept I will get there a bit slower. I appreciate the honest feedback.

Here's the 4 extra plants you told me to do. I've been working on making my leaves more lively but don't think i'm succeeding much.

I do have a confidence and perfectionist issue, I'm slowly chiseling at the later and I hope the former gets better with practice. I have yet to find the sweet spot when holding my pen. Something still feels off, I hold the pen in the tripod position which is something i'm new to but that will hopefully come with time.

I'm definitely heavy handed and had issues with my pens ink flow, which caused me going over a few things, I'll be more mindful of that. I didn't know you can damage the felt tip until It was recently mentioned in a video I saw.

I will work on my flow lines, I agree, they are lifeless for the most part. Thanks for your time and patience, learning something new can be daunting.

Yeah, I think I know what I'm doing wrong there and I will continue practicing rotating the boxes. Thanks for the critique.

My lines are converging at multiple points instead of one. On the left side, am I converging too soon?

Sometimes it takes me a bit to absorb information correctly. Am I more or less on the right track with this box? If so, I'll continue on to the 50 extra boxes.

Hi Uncomfortable, here is my 250 box homework. The confidence is not quite there yet...the pen still feels off in my hand.
