Took a little break, but did warmups with past exercises for a week and feel I'm back at it. Some of my own mistakes I can see already, such as some sloppy sausages and some parts where I forgot that I'm not supposed to correct and draw over my construction lines. I also struggled a lot with my paper and pen - the paper was surprisingly coarse and I had to press a bit more with the pen to get solid lines. Very finicky. Also, and scan was not done by me so it looks a bit washed out. I hope my construction lines are still visible.

Looking forward to a critique!

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.
