You ghost only in one way. So you ghost (faster) from point A to point B, then slowly come back to the starting point. You can do that as many time as it takes. Once you're ready, you can also slowly put your pen down, then cut the paper like a samurai. The priority is having a sexy line. Hitting the mark comes after. Stopping at the mark is the third priority (try not to stop but to lift the pen instead).

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, that pretty much makes a lot of sense to me. One question I have though - would that increase tapering in my line work if I were to lift the pen instead of stopping at the mark? And is this okay, or not?

It does, and that's ok. That's what Uncomfortable recommends anyways. It is better having some tapering in your line work than having a curvy, wobbly, end to your line.

Alright then. Thanks for your time.

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.
