Hullo, I'm rLuna, I'm an amateur artist, hopefully future animator and comic book artist. I've been drawing for a few years, but, honestly, it was mostly time ill-spent, since I spent most of my time memorizing formulas to draw specific things and never adding any substantial variables (which was be particularily troublesome for character design) So, wrapping the intro up, just hopefully learning to draw more dynamically and actually understand how something would work and move and breathe in a three-dimensional space and become the best.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to find a pen (with ink) that comes close to what you ask for in your lesson, and I lack the means to acquire a new one soon (Soon being relative to how hype I was to start doing the lessons)- however, I did use a .5 mechanical pencil and did stop myself from erasing all the time.
During my time working on these exercises, I quickly found the speed I should move my pencil with maximum confidence to make good lines, this, especially with the planes exercise. Also, during the planes exercise, I learned that, though the ghosting method is useful, I tried ghosting the line way too much sometimes and went way off- I personally find that one or two goes over where the line will be are where I am the most accurate.
I had great difficulty with the ellipses during the ellipse tables exercise, though I was eventually able to overcome it. Circles were definitely not as difficult. I also found my ellipses toppling over one another, which was rather nerve-wracking, and I had to fight my instinct to erase and do it all again.
And, finally, my hatching seemed to be a bit inconsistent during the rough perspective work, I definitely need to work on that.
Thanks for reviewing me, if you do. Again, there was no way I could acquire the sort of pen you asked for soon, and I certainly did not want to wait until I got one to get to work and learn some shit.
