My Daisy, Mushroom, Pink Rose, and Venus Flytrap drawings can be considered the non textured and detailed plant construction drawings (The extra lines or black colouring is just to help me picture the contour or give a bit more clarity respectively).

Although I spent a long time drawing each one, at moments I felt like I rushed or did not have enough focus to draw intently, resulting in misplaced lines.

I also felt like I struggled to know where to colour in, or how to construct many forms in a tight space like in the centre of most of my flower drawings.

Appreciate all feedback!

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
