It is important that you don't draw over lines that you'd already done, remember to stick to your first line, and be confident.

Try to be more careful with your marks and be mindful of what is going to be the purpose of your next line, and try to keep it consistent with the requirements, for example in the plotted perspective remember to keep horizontal lines parallel to the horizon and verticals perpendicular to it.

Try to do more careful planning, that is what is most important for you,you can always improve your markmaking on the way.

How do you plan more carefully (sorry if this is a dumb question)

While using the ghosting method there are many things you have to be aware of, first of all your confidence, on this depends that your lines are not wobbly. Theres also accuracy and it involves the length of the line as the correct placement of both ends.

And finally you should also be aware if you are drawing your lines in a comfortable angle or position.

I'll give you a piece of advice that you may find helpful, be your own critic while your drawing, you can imagine that you are watching yourself from a 3rd person view and that you critic your every move even before you actually do it, this helps you to be even more aware of what you're doing

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.
