Seeing an improvement when compared to lesson one. Working on line confidence and actually following the instructions. My lines seem less wobbly in this lesson but are still curving. Especially noticeable when drawing boxes and cones/ cylinders. I even notice I am curving a bit when doing the ghosting strokes. Really struggled with the last two homeworks. Please critique! I will implement the advice when continuing to lesson 3.

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.
