your line quality really stands out to me, also in your submission for lesson 1. can i ask, have you practiced a lot? and if so, how? because i just can't seem to draw consistent lines. hmm my handwriting is terrible as well

Yes, I practice drawing every weekday for 2 hours, and every weekend day for about 5 hours. I have done this since the start of 2020.
The main way I have practiced my line quality is by doing master studies of my favorite comic book pencillers, and really work on matching their line weight and strokes.
Also the rock studies themselves helped a lot. Doing a lot of this tight hatching, I had a lot more control near the end of the rock challenge than in the beginning.
I had nice handwriting before I started drawing, though. XD

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.
