Hello! I think the 50% rule means that 50% of the time you spend drawing you just draw whatever it is you want to draw. If your dream is designing jewelery - do so! If you start following along tutorials that would probably count as focused studying, where your primary concern is learning and be included in the 50% that includes the Draw a box lessons.

To answer your question:

just sitting down and draw "something" without really knowing what Im doing?

Yes, as long as that "something" is something you want to draw!

Hope that helps!

Hello,

thank you for your answer.

Yes it really helped me (:

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.
