A sketch for the 50% rule - drawn without reference
Pilot Color Eno 0.7 Colored Erasable Mechanical Pencils
Uni Kuru Toga 0.7 Mechanical Pencil
Pigma Micron 08 Fine liner
I started by constructing boxes with a red pencil, then sketched the head and bust construction in blue. After that, I went over it with a mechanical pencil, lightly erased, and refined the sketch with a Micron fine liner.
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.
