So to that you have nothing to worry about with regards to ghosting you can't ghost too much. The idea of ghosting is to prepare yourself for the execution. The reason you're failing is probably because you're hesitating or haven't built up the muscle balance. I also think that you're overthinking it a little. You should stop ghosting when you feel confident about the line you're about to draw and even if you're confident there will still be mistakes.

Thanks, and I think you are right about the overthinking part, its like tension building up and the more i ghost, the more tension.

But I realize now, after rereading the part and reading the tips, the important part of ghosting is musclememory, that is something you do subconscious.. So I'll have to find out while doing my exercises. Thanks!

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
