The page I linked you to from Lesson 0 (here, again) explains the rules associated with official critique. The short of it is that if you decide upon completing Lesson 2 to pursue official critique, ideally you'd start over from the beginning, with two basic exceptions that I don't openly list because I don't want to encourage people to try and get around those rules:

  • Your old Lesson 1 work can be submitted if for whatever reason it still represents your current skill level and understanding of the concepts.

  • You can submit your 250 box challenge work with 50 additional boxes done after your Lesson 1 work was marked as complete through official critique.

Nothing beyond that is permitted to be reused, so again - you will be doing your Lesson 2 work over.

Thank you for being patient with me. I missed "You effectively have until you're finished Lesson 1's homework to decide which track you'd like to take (without redoing anything)."

However this is fine as it's a long journey anyway so redoing a lesson doesn't seem that bad in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks again for everything

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.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
