There are a lot of awesome stuff out there, just remember that one of the rules for studying smart and efficiently rather than just hard but inefficiently is choosing only the best materials, if it seems like a waste of your precious time just stop and move on haha :D

Yeah there is so much.......just too much. I always felt bad when I didn't stick with something because it might have something valuable that I've not heard somewhere else.....but well just ended up with so much repeat information.

Also something I've asked my self quite a lot. Is it worth listening to the advice of artist of which you really don't like there style of? They are well loved for a reason and they seem to know a lot, but when they draw everything just looks so......wrong to me.

Yes, I know. With so much info everywhere we have to learn how to tailor what will help us the most towards our own objective, knowing how to invest is also important, buying books like How to draw to me is a great investment. It might be too hard in the beginning but it's yours to go back re-read absorb chunks little by little, which in my opinion always pays off. Are you in the discord too?

Yeah I'm on the discord server too. Made some posts on there in the lesson 5 chat, dio helped me a lot. I,ve got a different name on there v0nun I think.

I think for a lot of people have that much information is so overwhelming. I know it was for me and because of the oversaturation I didn't find draw a box for many years. I wish I knew of it sooner.

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.
