    I didn't expect so detailed answer, thanks very much! Everything is clean now - I'll focus on additive construction only for future lessons of this course.

    Thanks very much - that's very constructive feedback. Sure I'll take look back to textures and focus on not ignoring base construction along with using correct sausage forms and all your other remarks.

    I've got a question about this beetle https://i.imgur.com/TAQlYR1.jpg

    Here is reference which I used https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/contentlab.studiod/getty/8dcae47246ce402e90914572698bfef0.jpg

    I've found it extreemly helpful to put a sphere on the paper inside which i put the construction of the beetle - that's from where that unused line comes. I treated it like putting the elipse in lesson 2 for the radius of petals of the flower, which wasn't technically a construction element. Should I avoid drawing these kind of guides?

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).
