    Thank you so much for the thorough review. This is really helpful. I'll have to read it over a few times, and make sure to keep your advice in mind during my practice and upcoming homeworks from lesson 5.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks for the feedback. Oops! So sorry about only having 7 insects. I must have messed up the upload to ingur. Here are the 10 https://imgur.com/a/9yZx6iP. Some seem to be upsidedown. Let me know if you need me to try to fix it

    Thanks for the helpful review!

    I'll make sure to reread and practice what you've suggested, and I'll add a bit more emphasis on texture exercises in my warmups.

    Thanks! Quick question about the organic forms. In this image for sent (https://imgur.com/vg0vy0v), the top sausage is marked with an X. But what if the intent was that the right side is facing away?

    Thanks for the critique! As I keep practicing, I'll focus on trying to make all four lines converge, not just the pairs, and I'll also keep an eye out for making the lines too parallel, and thus diverging.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.

I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
