I find it so odd that people draw like this, use a pencil and draw lightly and get the shapes down before making a hard line. Don't ise a pen and try to do it in one go.

I don’t know, it’s a good exercise.

Why?

I always draw directly with ink. If I use a pencil first then I stress too much about everything to be perfect. When using ink directly from the start, I have to live with the mistakes and make them work. It's a lot more relaxing for me.

I learned from Sketching Scottie on YouTube and it's my favorite way to draw.
