    Oh! You're totally right! Building upon the sausage leg structures with 3D forms was something I didn't consider for some reason, even though it was demonstrated in your videos and notes (especially in your notes in the Informal Demos sections). I'm glad you mentioned it! Moving forward with the next lessons, I'm sure to keep it in mind and will start implementing more 3D forms on top of my underlying structures. I'll also keep in mind the degree of my contour curves and make them more wider on the further ends of the simple sauasages.

    Thanks again for your valuable feedback and your comments! And I'll see you in the next lesson! :)

    Thanks for the kind words!

    And definately, I'll keep in mind having a minor axis for my cylindrical shapes as well as approaching edge detail with a little more complexity (yeah, I could have focused on that a little more).

    Thanks for the feedback and see you in lesson 4! :)

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.
Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

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).
