I did it!

It took me a while and I had an injury in my shoulder just before the boxes (I pulled my trapezius at the gym).

In any case, I know I got like a TON of way to go, but I am hella happy how I can draw just a LITTLE bit better than before. My wife also gives me encouragement from time to time.

Anyway let me know what do you think, which lessons I should look over, what I could do a bit different or whatever. In any case, thank you for taking your time to even glance over this text. Hope you'll have a fantastic day!

Thanks Alessandra94!

I really had to wrestle with those cubes, and I think I will keep on the fight on the 250 ones too... oh boy... That will be hard.

Ouch, I hope your trapezius is doing better now. Your imposed lines look great though, and the ghosted lines look pretty good too, but it appears that some lines do favor accuracy over confidence a bit. But other than that your line work is pretty good, but try your best to not curve the lines midway.

Thanks for taking your time to look over!

Yeah I have noticed how my lines get a plump shape instead going straight sometimes! I'll try to get them more straight!

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.
