My corrections. I had to send my other pages elsewhere to have them scanned, so these are new ones, with pictures taken from my phone.
I will admit, there is a lot of fear still associated with this process for me. I still don't think I have any better of an idea how to visualize these 3D shapes and I'm not certain the 250 boxes will help. I'm working on correcting ny hand tremor but these may be the straightest lines I am capable of. I don't know that for sure, but I often look back at lines that I ghosted and quickly struck in one solid, quick mark and I am shocked to find that it is crooked, wobbly and seems unconfident. The lines I draw with my wrist are both straighter and more accurate. None of the lines you see in these new pages are done with only my wrist.
None of this needs to be responded to of course, but I say it just in case it helps clarify my position.
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
