Hi Madwood, thanks for taking the time to critique my work. As much as I'd like to accept your reply and move on to the next lesson as quickly as I can, I need a few pointers as to what I could be doing better and what I should aim for. So... I can't. Thanks again for checking my stuff out though.

Please keep in mind that feedback that is not specific, and that only speaks in vague generalities, while certainly well meaning and appreciated, are not helpful. In fact, when a student receives feedback from someone, their submission is marked as having been critiqued - meaning their changes of getting any more feedback (without that critique being marked as unhelpful) is severely reduced.
If you don't have the time to dig into a full critique (which would certainly be understandable), then it is best to leave it to someone else instead.

Yep my bad. I see the importance of good feedback now. Its taken me a few lessons for it to sink in.

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.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. 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.
