Using a brush pen for boxes

7:16 AM, Tuesday April 28th 2020

This might sound a bit dumb, but would it be alright if I used a brush pen for the extra 50 boxes? I have fineliners and regular ballpoint pens but I want to practice drawing with a brush pen with boxes.

I would do the practice with the brush pen outside of drawabox. Doing the boxes with brushpen will add extra difficulty that can hinder your progress, so I don't recommend it.

I'll add to the user below - by using a brush pen you have to control the width of your line while simultaneously trying to get the line straight and converging at the right angle. The box challenge wants specific things out of it, so it's not a good idea to add difficulty.

At the same time, I do understand that learning such a cool tool as a brush pen is tempting, so I suggest doing in separately and perhaps, over time, incorporating it into your warm-ups.

True, using a brush pen is tempting but maybe doing it seperately sounds like a better idea than just doing it in the boxes. Thx dude

This is one of my favourite books. It's a fantasy-comedy romp, and the world that J. Zachary Pike has created honestly takes my breath away. There are laughs at every turn, but the story is not without its heart wrenching moments - some for which I have yet to fully forgive the author.

If you're at all curious about the kinds of nonsense I read, or just need something new to sink your teeth into, this is one I can highly recommend. On top of that, being self-published by an indie author, it's the kind of thing where your individual support can go a long way.

P.S: The audiobook, with narration from Doug Tisdale, is especially good, and elevates the story in ways I can't rightly describe.
