No problem!

Yes, I remember Uncomfortable cutting into the tiger in the intro video, now that you've mentioned it. It can get pretty confusing in this lesson, with some of the older demos having information in them that conflicts with what we're currently asking students to do. I apologise if I came accross as harsh or unfair, just be sure not to cut inside your silhouettes when practicing these exercises in the future. A lot of this confusion should be cleared up when the overhaul gets to lesson 5, but for now, congratulations on navigating through it.

If I remember correctly, there is little/no conflicting information in the cylinder challenge, so the instructions should be more straightforward. Best of luck with the rest of the course.

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).
