Hi again! All right, the rest look fabulous, and your plan sounds solid. Good luck with lesson 2!
Also, if you haven't tried it, the drawabox discord channel has a critique exchange, where you do 5 critiques and then your submission is added to a spreadsheet that gets critiqued faster. (Sometimes lessons are critiques fast, and sometimes posts languish for a year without a critique.)
Next Steps:
Good luck with lesson 2!
Thanks so much!!
I knew the discord channel existed but I hadn't joined before (I get nervous talking to people compared to text-based posts), but the critique exchange system sounds great and I will definitely check it out. Thank you for letting me know!
As far as I know, the discord is all just used as text threads (otherwise there would be a thousand people talking all at once). The one you want is "critique exchange." Also, you can post stuff in each lesson thread as you go and ask questions. (They have a thread for lesson 1, 2, etc, plus the different challenges.)
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).
