Hi, New subscriber! Here's my submission for lesson 1
I'll admit, I had great difficulty in learning to draw from the shoulder, it's as if holding a pen suddenly became alien to me! Thankfully I'm starting to somewhat get the hang of it, and discover this weird muscle called the shoulder. At least I'm refraining from twisting my hand at all times which positively helped me draw better lines.
I also loved the idea of drawing with ink it thought me to just live with my mistakes and plan around it, as every time I tried to correct a mistake by going over it again, >80% I made it worse and just brought more attention to it, while if I left it alone, it probably wouldn't have made a difference in the overall scheme of things.
EDIT: Although you recommended A4 size paper, it slipped my mind and thought it's A3. I adjusted later and split the papers in half a few exercises in. Expect for the rotated boxes, it was easier to work on smaller paper so I can rotate it around freely.
