Reddit mentions of Staedtler Pigment Liner, 0.5mm, Black Ink (308-0.5)

Hi! Hopefully this isn't too late for you to see. Disclaimer, though: I'm a beginner when it comes to art, but seeing the lack of responses here, I thought I'd share.

1. Firstly, my advice is to practice these exercises regularly. For example, as a warmup, you might wanna do like half a page of each one or whatever you're comfortable with. Do not burn yourself out, though. If you do find yourself becoming tired of doing these lines over and over again, then take a break or go draw whatever you wanted to draw.
   
   Secondly, we all move at our own pace. Some might move faster, slower, or just at the average pace, but what's important it that you move at YOUR pace. If you want to consider moving on, then consider and maybe try the next exercise. If you think you're rushing, then I'd go back to practicing a bit more on the exercises you're on. However, I still like to have some sort of rough idea of how other progress with these, so I go through this subreddit and look at the homework that people have done for the exercise that I'm on. I like to find work that has been drawn in a similar way to mine, and then I read the critiques since they may also apply to me.
   
   Additionally, there's a self-critique thing that Matt Kohr/Uncomfortable (the creator of these guides) has included for each exercise. Here's the one for your exercise.
   
   
2. Always aim for the points. The purpose of the exercise is to ultimately exercise your accuracy. Because of this, we always want to connect our lines to the dots we've planned out. If we instead connected our lines to the ones we've drawn, then we'd be completing a different shape to the one we planned out originally (tell me if that didn't make sense. I'll make pictures for ya).
   
   
3. I'd say your pen is too thick (though it's a little hard to tell what thickness it is through the image). When doing super-imposed lines, having a thick line will make it harder to tell by how much you missed your original line by.
   
   Matt Kohr linked these two as examples of pens. He also recommends felt tip pens or fine liner pens with 0.5mm lines (but having a bit of a thinner or thicker line is still okay. If you can't get a hold of these pens, then ballpoint pens will suffice). If you can't afford some of the more expensive brands, then I'd very much recommend the Staedtler pigment liner or the Uni Pin Fineliner pen. I use the second one as it has black ink (my personal preference), while the Staedtler one is apparently grey ink.
   
   Still, your straight super-imposed lines are turning out nicely. The curved ones look like they need some practice, but you're on the right track. Ghosting might need some help, though. You might be going too slow, but I'd give Matt Kohr's video a re-watch just to make sure you're doing the technique correctly. Good luck!
