Hi,

I am from India and I recently found about this amazing website, but in my state there's strict lockdown so can't get out much, is it ok if I start the lessons with my huion hs64 drawing tablet??

Hi and welcome!

The only limitation is that you will not be able to submit your homework for official critique.

If you are planning to go with the official critique, a ballpoint pen is also admitted for Lesson 1 and the 250 Box Challenge.

Good luck out there!

Nvm, I found some old black ballpoint pen and a fineliner, seems like I can do it...

thanks for the help anyway..

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
