    Thank you for your feedback! You've totally caught me that impatience is my biggest downfall. When it comes to individual lines, I'll ghost for perhaps less than a second and convince my brain like 'yeah, that will do'. My biggest challenge through this was consistently doing straight lines, gradually I managed to wake up my shoulder muscles but the key ingredient that I only figured out until perhaps the 200 mark was simply patience, taking time to ghost just a little bit more. I'll keep an eye on the constellation of marks I make as well, I don't mark the vanishing points as I feel that is too cheeky but I do mark my estimated intersections quite a bunch until I feel confident about it. I think that trying to use solely my Big Brain to figure them out will be an useful challenge! I look forward to creating many more sexy lines.

    Thank you very much! Really appreciate the feedback, I'll keep on trucking with these exercises and taming my unruly shoulder.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
