Sadly it's not a matter of me not wanting to do these exercises in ink, but me not having the materials nor money nor space to do them in ink (My tablet was a gift given to me for my birthday a few years ago, and even then it was purchased at a huge discount.)
As for space, I've had to remove part of my graphic tablet's stand just so it would fit on my desk.
Don't get me wrong -- I completely 100% agree that I would get much much more mileage from doing it with traditional methods, and if I had the materials I would switch to it in a heartbeat, but I am just currently unable to. If it is absolutely necessary, however, I may be able to scrounge up a few pieces of paper and a office ball point ink pen if I look hard enough.
As for CTRL-Z, yes I am already trying to fix this habit. I have been drawing extremely pale lines since childhood, erasing until my drawings became blotchy messes, this is a nasty habit I am working towards getting rid of for these lessons ASAP.
As for your uncertainty on digital mistakes - There are no real tangible mistakes that can be done digitally that aren't done traditionally. At worse, using incorrect canvas resolutions, zooming (Which I avoided altogether by unbinding my scroll wheel), etc.
The biggest difference I can see is that the pen doesn't have as much friction as regular drawing tools, leading to more overshoots.
It is up to you to mark my lesson as complete or not, and while I would personally think it's a little silly to not mark it as complete over something you yourself said you are "unfamiliar with", it's not up to me to make these decisions. Also thanks for the heads up, if I do run into a hurdle and don't get critiques due to using digital, I'll ask the discord instead.
Oh, and sure. I'll switch my pen settings so the pen pressure is more apparent. I could swear uncomfortable said to use fineliners and not ink pens and to just go over a line again to make it more apparent, though.
