First, thank you for offering these lessons. I'm self taught and have been drawing since I was a kid, but had gotten kind of stuck. Traditional style books never really seemed to help. After digging for a long time I ran across drawabox, and these lessons just seem to fit how I learn. I've begun to document my experiences on my blog, https://drewmerten.wordpress.com.
Second, I'd like to offer a slight bit of advice concerning tools. I notice you do show the type of pens needed, and I ran across a comment you made talking about using printer paper (something I'd picked up from Doug Chiang's book Mechanika). It might be a good idea to mention it for new people, perhaps in the drawabox lessons by where you talk about the pens. Obviously most people use whatever they like, but if you're already telling people what to do/use why stop there:)
Any way thank you so much for these lessons, I'll be supporting you via Patreon shortly.
