I really appreciate you giving feedback so quickly! I'm looking forward to getting into the lessons and seeing my improvements over time. I'm a software developer by trade but the idea of signing off of computers and drawing for hours sounds so relaxing. Of course I'm really new and can't draw much of anything well yet, but I hope to develop my skills over time.
You aren't forced to use copy paper, just keep in mind that you're going to do hundreds of pages throughout drawabox, so you're gonna need a ton of these sketchbooks. Most of the work you're gonna be doing is also the warmups you'll have to do before every session, which normally use 1 page or so.
If you also take sketchbooks make sure it's at least A4 size, don't go for anything smaller
Great point on the warm-ups! I'll probably opt for cheaper paper for the really repetitive things...which come to think of it could potentially be the entire course, I guess. Thank you for responding!
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
