This challenge surprised me on how much it told me about where I stand.
In the first lesson, you mentioned how my boxes came out looking pillowy and on the first page it was my #1 priority to make sure the boxes came out looking straight and crisp, but noticed that while I was focusing on making sure my lines were not curvy I was becoming lazy on making sure the lines were parallel.
The other thing I noticed was that I was correcting myself and spending a lot of time on each box to the point where a "correct" line would be much thicker than the rest. This happened so much. I'd like to think it's due to my terrible .5 pen because when I went back in ballpoint my form and pressure were fine. I'll be picking up a better pen before I begin the next lesson.
