With what Piggybird said, remember, it was stated at first that you shouldn't study in a bubble.

Sticking to one resource isn't useful in any skill you want to achieve. For example, if you want to learn Spanish and you just buy a single Spanish learning book, you will not go very far. Some intricate details that is forgotten to mention or isn't apparent to the author means that you also miss that point. You have to gather information from multiple sources, like how you would also watch Michael Hampton or Proko for example; you want to hear how native speakers speak, like how you would watch how master artist draw; you want to speak and make an output, like how you would doodle and experiment outside the course...

Of course, if you are casually learning it, sticking to one resource is fine. There's nothing wrong with being casual, some people just want to enhance their world views, some people just trying to draw without mastery level, or you may be just a bored guy looking to spend time. I feel like you are not trying to do this casually, as I just wanted to tell this to whoever may need it :P

You already stated that you will abide by the rules of the course and don't mix-and-match with other courses, so that is perfect.

Have fun in your journey!

I really liked the example of learning a language. It is very successful because in a way the drawing is a language in itself and it is very extrapolated, so thank you for that example and thank you very much for taking the time to answer.

a greeting!

enjoy your journey too!

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
