Was he joking when he said you could use a Sharpie Ultrafine or can I actually use it?

A Sharpie Ultrafine is all I have right now in terms of fineliners. I just want to be sure I can use it.

If it's stated in a Lesson, as is the case here, you can take it deadly serious. You'll be fine with your Sharpie.

Hah, no, I was not joking. Sharpie ultrafines are acceptable.

A sharpie ultrafine is fairly close to fineliner. The big difference is that the tip deteriorates quite quickly unlike a fineliner so your lines lose crispness. So be fine to start but probably best change to fineliner as soon as possible. I think fineliners work out cheaper in the long run too.

The Sharpie Ultra Fine Point is all I have access to at my grocery store, which is THE ONLY place we go to right now. So I hope they're good. They bleed through the copy paper I use, just have to remember to work on top of another paper.

And on price I think a 2pack was cheaper than some of the other pens I tried before these trying times.

OK thanks!

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
