Hello guys

I just started to follow this course this whole month, and i see both in the tutorial video and in this website, that you should not grind yourself to the point of perfection.

But, i want to know if i should practice the exercise many times until i understand it or just post the exercise first time i do it, no matter how bad it is for it get critiqued and i fix right away?

You should just post what you made, otherwise you get hung up on it and begin grinding at the assignments which isn't the point.

You will use the lessons later as warm up.

Be sure to go through Lesson 0, if you haven't already. This video from Lesson 0 Page 3 explains how the exercises in this course are to be used, and answers your question in detail.

Oh hey Uncomfortable!

I have listened to your tutorial video and i now realize that i am working in vacuum. I should just read the instruction, do the exercise to my best and submit it no matter how bad it is, not just practicing by myself until i understand it. I thought by practicing the exercise many time on many paper myself before i submit the exercisee, i will, at least understood how to do it.

Thank you for your help

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).
