Hello again, while ghosting your marks you want to be mindful of the mistakes that you have to correct, if your linework gets worse the more you do it, then probably you are approaching it incorrectly. Maybe you need to read the instructions for the ghosting method again, Here they are.

You should try to experiment with the speeds, you really have to balance it, as it shouldn't be too fast nor too slow.

Well I hope this helps, hopefully someone else can offer you some advice

Hi,

Thanks again for helping me. If I reread the part of ghosting, I think the importend thing is to build op the musclememory and I think I overthink it...

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
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).
