In that page there are some confident lines but many more wobbly ones.

Now, without redoing the pages already done, I'd like you to try this:

pick your fineliner and a piece of paper and draw 50 lines from the wrist, then block the wrist and draw 50 lines from the elbow, then block the elbow and draw 50 lines from the shoulder. Focus on the joints, try to feel the difference in the movements.

Done this, on a new paper, try to ghost lines for 5 minutes, from a comfortable angle, without committing any mark to the page. See if you are moving the arm from the shoulder on a straight line. Focus on the preparing phase and see if there are any differences compared to how you approached the task before.

Replace fineliner with biro and I'll see what I can't do.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
