For some reason, big boxes were giving me trouble, so that's why I did so many of them. Once I busted my ruler out at the end I realized how horribly curved my lines were, which is probably why a lot of them looked so bad.
Also, I decided to get creative on a few of my boxes here and there, and even tried to make some dominoes in a row on one page (if you couldn't figure out that that's what that's supposed to be). All of the sudden they started getting really big, and I don't know what I was thinking there lol. I wouldn't mind revisiting that concept once I get better overall. http://imgur.com/a/81YnA

Okay, well thanks for the clarification. I'm pretty new to drawing/the art world, so I don't exactly know much about pens and all that. I will say that I was using a pencil before starting your lessons (I did Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain by Betty Edwards before I found your curriculum), and I like your reasoning behind using a pen -- to build confidence. That's really helped me strive to be better and not get lazy. Anyway, I'll post them when I'm done. I'm currently working on boxes in one point perspective. It'll probably be tomorrow before I'm finished with the whole lesson.

I was kind of on the border about posting mine because I know how you feel about not using the proper tools (felt pen, in this case). I'm currently using a Pilot Precise V5 (which is a 0.5mm rolling ball pen), because I live in a small town, and that's the best pen I can find in at the market.

Still going through Lesson 1, but I just wanna say I appreciate you putting this all together. I look forward to going through the rest of the lessons. I wish you the best in reaching an even larger audience.

Yeah, I couldn't find a red colored pen, so I went back over a some of them with blue. The problem with the blue was that it didn't provide quite enough contrast to the black, so it just ended up making a lot of them look muddier.
I definitely agree that a lot of my lines get sloppier towards the end. I think my problem with those was that I was watching the pen more than I was watching where I wanted the pen to go.
I'll hopefully get a red pen later this week and go back over those. Thanks again for doing this. That exercise, though incredibly tedious, taught me quite a bit.
