    Facing the fear of failure can be liberating in any endeavor, though it can still be hard to go for it.

    Thanks for your reply!

    I appreciate that the 50% rule encourages "doing the thing" to avoid falling in the trap of only preparing. I've also found this to be important in other non-drawing disciplines.

    I like thinking about it in terms of two related goals; one to have a good time with drawing, and the other to challenge myself to create.

    Thank you for your input!

    I appreciate the response and encouragement!

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
