Hey man thanks for the positive feedback.

Some of the those drawings took 45 min - 1 hour. Get base shapes in and focus on composition. Then work out lighting. Lastly, focus on details. Detailing usually takes the longest.

I have been at this, seriously (2-3 hours a night), for a year and half now. Just remember it's a marathon not a sprint. Some days I have success, some days the corner of my studio is filled with crumpled paper. Keep following the DaB exercises and it will come. Don't give up and keep going.

Super nice words, thanks!

I think I will continue the "homework" from lesson 1 now. ^^

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.
