    Yeah I saw the FAQ but was not quite sure of how it applied to my interrogations. Thanks for your enlightment. I guess even if it's not what I have the most fun with, I should definitely force myself to draw from imagination, at least for a portion of my 50% rule time

    Hey, thanks for you elaborate answer.

    Your experience helps me making more sense of the rule.

    I'll definitely try some of your ideas, never thought of taking my own photos to draw but I think I might really like that

    I also have some interest in digital drawing, so thanks for your recommandation, I'll check this out !

    Thanks a lot. I guess the main focus of the rule is to have fun without putting pressure on oneself, regardless of the way it's achieved.

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.

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).
