No problem at all.

Based on the fact that each lesson builds upon each other if you have issues we believe you need to work on we can point them out in the next lesson, but so far you appear to be doing well.

If you'd really like more input on your work you could always join the discord server which is pretty active but critique isn't guaranteed, or after some time you could submit a previously completed lesson again. This would cost you credits as it normally would, and we don't suggest doing it until some time has passed to discourage people grinding for perfection but know that it is an option you could pursue if you wanted too.

Sounds good thank you.

Would you recommend that I start chipping away at the 25 texture challange at this point as well as the 250 cylinder challenge? I know the 250 cylinder challenge is slated for after lesson 5 but I feel I would benefit even now from learning how to draw them properly and getting some practice in now.

Starting on the 25 texture challenge now and chipping away at it in parallel with the other lessons is entirely fine. I would however strongly recommend that you leave the 250 cylinder challenge after lesson 5. It's pushed all the way there because I prefer students to get more mileage with their ellipses beforehand (which they will through warmups and through the next few lessons).

Ok thanks for the reply. I'll focus on ellipses through warmups then and start on the texture challenge. Thanks!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
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.
