Honest answer is yes.

Really concentrate on building control from the shoulder when drawing. It may not be sport but the muscles there need training and building to do this well. Also practice over a range of line lengths. The ones here are quite short and yet they still overshoot significantly.

You will get it but it needs focussed practice for a while, preferably daily. It is the most foundational of skills here.

Thank you for the honest answer! I have been practicing ghost lines while continuing with the 250 boxes as i don't want to lose momentum on that. But you are right, it is the most fundemental skills here and i should practice it as much as i can!

Appreciate that, I am having my own struggles on textures.

You are right that, as the founder says, grinding forever to perfection is not a good thing either. It will make you want to give up and it's always better to push on than do that.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

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.
