Hey Icemage I took a look at your straight line exercises and wanted to let you know good work on these! You did a good job of prioritizing confidence over accuracy. The wavy line in the middle of the second page doesn't seem to have an obvious starting point so just remember to always start on the same starting dot and go from there. You did a consistently good job with that on the majority of your straight lines though. Occasionally there is some wobbling on your straight lines so maybe you could experiment with the speed which you are drawing your lines to see what works best for you. For page three you did a great job of drawing your lines confidently and not repeating any lines with issues! There were a few arching lines but nothing too concerning just remember to arch slightly in the opposite direction if you need to. Page four looks pretty solid as well always remembering to plot your lines and ghosting. Some wobbling here and there but not bad. I only see a single instance where you repeated a line that came out badly but you didn't do it anywhere else so good job! (page 4 diagonal rectangle second to bottom)

Hello trendel103,

Thanks for your compliment, i really appreciate it. About the arching lines, i am trying to experiment how should my hand holding the pen , to make straight line that make my lines kind wobbly. Thanks for your compliments and feedback it really improves me a lot and make me want to draw more. Right now, i am on 100/250 box challenge. Thanks for your feedback and have a good day

You're welcome! Nice work on the 250 box challenge I'm actually working on that challenge right now as well. For holding the pen I think you are doing the right thing by just experimenting until you find the answer for you. I had a problem where my lines came out faded originally and had to adjust to holding my pen more vertically so it sounds like you are on the right track!

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
