Hellucigemia

As if Hellucigenia fossils didn't already give us scientists a headache, we've now found a living specimen deep within the Earth themself!

Not only that, but it looks like a creature made entirely of gemstone with flesh and organs growing around its deep purple skeletal frame.

A frame that's bigger than an avarage human adult's body.

Good thing it appears to be friendly, then, as it opens its mouth and gives us a wave.

But one question, one of many, comes to mind; is this a giant version of these creatures, or are all these smaller Hullucigenia fossils we've found so far their babies?

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
