Lesson Incomplete

2:24 AM, Thursday June 2nd 2022

Heyo ever since ive started taking Drawabox seriously ive realized that i messed up with lesson 1 (at the time i didnt do the lessons in fineliners and also skipped Lesson 0) at the current moment im currently on lesson 3 and while ive read over lesson 1 and done the exercises numerous times and submitted work for the 250 boxes and Lesson 2 im still alittle worried that there may be some valuable critiques that i may be missing forever because i didnt do Lesson 1 correctly

Do you still have the work you did for Lesson 1? I would submit that for critique so you can get the feedback you are missing.

possibly although i did them in pencil at the time due to not knowing about the fineliner rule however I do have some warmups I could send into the community critique with stuff the Rotated Boxes exercises being redone since i haven't done that in a while

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. 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.

I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
