I'm not sure if another colour would be allowed. Maybe someone else could chime in on that.

Keep in mind that Comfy stated that intersections are not the actual focus of this exercise; they should be an afterthought to placing the overlapping forms in the same space. Intersections can be very confusing and difficult to do, but give it your best shot (if you decide to do it all) and move on.

If you did use a simplified version of intersecting as suggested by Ledvi21 (which might not be recommended in the course as it's not the assigned homework; though it is a valid exercise), remember always to draw through your forms.

Whatever you do, I second Ledvi21: don't grind. Do what the course requires and move on.

Thank you

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.

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).
