The 3rd option is what got me through 3 DAB related breakdowns haha. I got stuck on L2 dissections, L4 and L5. Switching 100% to fun drawing gave me the energy to restart DAB each of these times.

If you find yourself with little time, maybe it's best to take a break from DAB and spend that free time drawing for fun (or doing other things). DAB will be there no matter what.

Thank you, that's very helpful to hear

This surely has helped me. When I switch to just drawing for fun, I see just how much DaB has helped me improve the way I draw. That's a huge motivation to get back.

Also breaks are important. Take breaks from both drawing for fun and the assignments. Come back stronger.

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.
