Much better. I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
One minor point though - since you're scanning in your work, you're probably using the "drawing" preset which has a tendency to ramp up your contrast, eliminating the nuance and subtle elements of your linework. Try scanning it under the 'photo' presets to capture your work as accurately as possible.
Next Steps:
Move onto lesson 3.
Will do I think the only setting i have adjusted is 300dpi. Thanks for the tip!
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.
