Thank you, I really needed this insight :)

I have a question, I asked it on Discord, but I never got an answer:
I'm struggling with how my constructions don't match the references of the plants and how that ends up making the leaf-edges feel completely wrong... Is this normal?
I have experience painting from observation, so I'm sure that is what is throwing me off here, because I see how my drawing in no way resemble the reference... This makes me feel like my attempts are total failures very early in my progress.
I end up trying to tweak the mistakes and that creates a lot of clutter since I am not allowed to use an erasable medium
Awh thank you! Yeah, I might finish it digitally after the promptathon :D
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.
