Ghosting for texture and fur?

Hi,
I am now on lesson 5 and asking myself If I need to ghost the fur lines (I draw each line separate, not zigzagging).
Thank you.

No, generally speaking you don't need to ghost for fur in most cases, unless you're dealing with longer, more flowing marks. As with whether or not you draw from the shoulder, it depends very much on the nature of the mark. Most texture is made up of tight, stiff and precise marks, but in the cases where it requires more flow and fluidity, then the shoulder/ghosting becomes more important.
Thank you for the answer!
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.
