okay i see, so its just a matter of practicing a lot? i wasnt sure if it was my hand-eye cordination going out of sync or something im not sure so i was kinda feeling pretty hopeless after a few days of practice lol....

would it be feasible to go slow at first to align my curves and work my way up to more confidently and quick lines?

The answer is always practice. Slowing it down is fine. For one exercise I did some examples on paper and then made copies. I then practiced the same thing over and over.

Ultimately though it's whatever gets you to the point of confidence in the exercise.

Sorry! Late reply. Personally I find it is a matter of practicing. Also it helps if you can visualize where you draw your line as you're making the arrow. Maybe try ghosting a few times before making your next line.

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.
