    Thank you! The tip to draw texture with shapes is an amazing insight into my drawings. For this drawing (https://imgur.com/9APtE1j) I completely agree that it looked flat. The frustrating part is that the plant doesn't have much to work with in my eye! (it just kinda hangs: https://leafandpaw.com/2018/02/19/how-to-propagate-monstera-deliciosa/) Trying to wrap my head around how to give it a 3d form - will redraw on my own. Thanks again!

    Hey Uncomfortable,

    Can I ask you a question about the 250 ellipse challenge? It is regarding the minor axis correction as stated here: https://imgur.com/a/CNS74JH

    I understand that the corrections should be exactly 1/2 of the ellipse length, but how did you figure out how to draw the angle of the correction line? Is it arbitrary?

    (I know i'm on lesson 3, but I've been going through them during the 2 week buffer between submissions given i've just been at home heh)

    Thanks for your time!

    Thank you for the critique! Here are 10 boxes. Tried to focus on the lines. Funny how thinking too much about the lines makes it harder for me to draw them straight!

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.

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
