    Thank you so much for the critique ! It was so thorough and i really appreciate the time that you took to give me the advice you did. I do admit I am very insecure about my lines , so going forward i will try to be mindful of this, and i think i will practice some of the earlier assignments you suggested before the next challenge ! Thanks again :)

    Hello,

    Sorry for the late reply , but i had a question on one part of your critique as I'm having a hard time understanding your point. I agree overall with your consensus but I want to fully understand your critique so that I can actually incorporate your pointers for future assignments. Specifically it's this line "The former is due to you spending so long lining up your pen, that you lose the built-up rhythm.". I don't know why but I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean here. If you could expand on that it would be much appreciated. Thank you again for taking the time to give me such a thorough critique ! It's very much appreciated, and you're right I should be focusing more on the confidence aspect. I think I was just watching other people attempt the assignments and saw that they would correct their lines if they didn't hit the point, and i got confused after seeing that and assumed that maybe i should've done that all along. Funny to find out that my original belief was correct! Will keep that in mind going forward :)

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.
