One of the arguments we make in favour of the 50% rule is focused on allowing each half of your time focus on a specific purpose. During the study portion, we focus on study, and during the play portion, we focus on play. It's very common to want to mix them together, and I can't strictly speak for cases where the student has things like ADHD - but in general, we find that doodling during the time you intend to spend on studying will cause you to shift some of your mental resources away from focusing on following and adhering to the instructions, and will make it more likely that your work won't be done to the best of your current ability.

Rather, if you find yourself losing focus or getting bored, it's better to set the studying aside for the time being.

I agree with you, but maybe domt do it ON your homework, but perhaps on another piece kf paper.

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).
