i've been taking a break from Drawabox to focuse on my studies in high school and in my drawabox downtime something thats been on my mind is how can i tell if im putting as much effort in my exercises as possible? and how can i tell if im improving?
For your first question, it's really up to you. If you feel like if you've put as much as you can into an exercise then move on to the next, if not then push more. No one can really tell unless they look at your previous work.
For your second question, this is the reason why critiques are important. It can be hard to tell what you're doing right or wrong on your own, especially in drawing when improvement is usually very gradual. The 50% rule is also useful for this because drawing outside of exercises and applying them will show you how much you've changed.
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.
