Hi Turq, proportions are looking decent. Keep at it. Maybe pay a bit more attention to the confidence of your lines and mark making in general. I love me some sketchy art, but for each drawing maybe add in a few more lines that really look bold and intentional (like you unapologetically meant to put them there). And last but not least, have fun with it!
its only sketchy because i havent learned how to digitally paint yet. i got this tablet in january i think and only really started using it in march (this month). I would love any advice you can give
Just keep at it. With more mileage your confidence will improve; don't worry much about the quality in the beginning. Draw lots of things. Observe and draw from real life as much as possible; fill sketchbooks with doodles and drawings of objects and people around your house and community, not just from pictures. That helped me a lot in the beginning. All the best.
Thanks a lot, I really needed to hear that. I haven't been doing a lot of 50% drawings lately and I don't know how to force myself to do it. I know it will be helpful in the long run but I just can't manage to sit and let my mind leak onto the page. I'm bombarded with questions in the process, some being: Why can't I think of anything? Why is it so bad? Why is it not working? Why don't I know how to draw this? Any bad drawings I make make me so frustrated I rip it out, throw it away, and cry for like an hour. I don't know how to get out of this mindset, but I know I need to get out of it soon.

This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. 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.
I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
