I had a lot of fun with that lesson, even though it took me a lot of time, but that was due to some external factors.

Thanks in advance for any feedback

I would say one of my main weakness are still the "branches" especially small ones, I draw wobbly/shaky lines... I plan to focus a bit more on "drawing with the shoulder"

Regarding leaves -> I sometimes have the problem to draw them from different perspectives... but I think thats something I just have to learn by drawing more.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. 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.

I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
