So I have a sketchbook with papers that have the width of half an A4 sheet paper. This is in reference of lesson 1 homework. I was wondering should I do 2 or 4 pages because of how small the paper is in my sketchbook? and how far apart should i put the superimposed lines from each other in a row? half a centimeter? a centimeter itself?

If you can afford it go out and get some printer paper ( it's about £4 here in the UK for 500 sheets ). You are going to use a lot of paper. It will just make it easier as well to go along with the exercises and lessons.

Sketchbooks are best saved for actual sketching as the paper, generally, has quite a different finish to it which may make your fineliners wear out, run out or block quicker.

oh man thanks for the tip! i didn't know that my gine liner will get damaged more becuase of that. i recently bought the fineliners for drawaboc purposes and so it makes me glad for this info so that i wouldn't ruin them so quickly. and i do have a stack of A4 sheet paper to use. so i'll go use them. once again thank you for the tip.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
