What do I do when, even after ghosting the lines before drawing them, I still can't connect the two points together?eithef the lines are wobbly, straight but inaccurate, or it faints before reaching the next point.
If you have to choose between confidence amd accuracy, always choose confidence.
Accuracy is not in your bucketlist for now. Sure, it would be nice to have it, and yes, you will try to work towards it in the future, but it is not in your checklist.
Your first and foremost priority is confidence. You need crisp, straight lines, drawn from shoulder in a single decisive stroke after careful ghosting. Like a slash of blade, drawn fast and without steering midway through.
Just continue working through it, there are no "good" or "bad" results here, only if it follows the exercise rules or not. Get a clean, crisp line; and after that you will start calibrating your accuracy.
thank you so much
If your lines are wobbly, you are hesitating or you are still unsure where the stroke will end. If the line is straight but inaccurate, all you need to do is continue practicing. If it faints before reaching the point, you are lifting the pen/reducing pressure before it reaches the end point or using the pen at an angle.
Go over lesson 1 again, they talk more about this in more detail.
Okay. Thank you.
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
