Let's say I have poor quality pens, and line weighting or filling large areas with black is complicated with them.
Is there any way I can define certain sections of the drawing without those two resources?
Pd: It is not easy for me to find good pencils here.
you can outline the area with a pen/ fineliner and then use something like a brush pen to fill in the area.
idk maybe using guache or acrilics may help to fill the large areas since they dry fast and matte. u can also use felt tip pen or whiteboard marker as well. I use whiteboard marker and it works.Also i think when you buy pen, get two or more because using dried empty pen is soouuu annoying i hope it helps XP
Where the rest of my recommendations tend to be for specific products, this one is a little more general. It's about printer paper.
As discussed in Lesson 0, printer paper (A4 or 8.5"x11") is what we recommend. It's well suited to the kind of tools we're using, and the nature of the work we're doing (in terms of size). But a lot of students still feel driven to sketchbooks, either by a desire to feel more like an artist, or to be able to compile their work as they go through the course.
Neither is a good enough reason to use something that is going to more expensive, more complex in terms of finding the right kind for the tools we're using, more stress-inducing (in terms of not wanting to "ruin" a sketchbook - we make a lot of mistakes throughout the work in this course), and more likely to keep you from developing the habits we try to instill in our students (like rotating the page to find a comfortable angle of approach).
Whether you grab the ream of printer paper linked here, a different brand, or pick one up from a store near you - do yourself a favour and don't make things even more difficult for you. And if you want to compile your work, you can always keep it in a folder, and even have it bound into a book when you're done.
