You may benefit from reading through this short article on the topic of motivation. That said, have you also been devoting appropriate time to the 50% rule, as prescribed in Lesson 0? While it serves many purposes, avoiding burnout is a big one.

Hello, I try to remind myself all the time, that what we are doing here is not an actual art pieces in any mean. And I am trying to draw outside of Draw a Box as well. But I feel like I am in some rush, I feel scared to waste time. Everyday when I am feeling exhausted, tired and can't force myself to do something else after day of work, I consider that day wasted. Like I done 0% of progress. Haven't find a solution to that yet. What I found in 50% rule article absolutely about me - "Unfortunately, we are most often our own bullies". I expect and demand to much from myself.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.

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.
