Yeah, writing helps me be self aware of what im doing sometimes as I go lol.
I wouldn't call myself 'new' to this. Just new to doing so many so close at one time. Eye strain with black on white has always been a problem, hence me explaining I tend to sketch on blue, as white is too hard for me.
As for using a pen, Im doing that because I dont have to go over my lines to darken them, that and, whatever you draw with a pen is permeant (unless you use a white pen) but the idea behind doing it like that is, it forces me to see my own progress lines for how I process doing things. Its like seeing your own thoughts layed out as you did the homework, instead of erasing it with pencil, or having it get rubbed off. Its like having to show your work when doing math homework, as opposed to just writing the answer. That way, if something feels off, I can see why it feels off and how I got there. Thats the idea anyways, instead of habit erasing sketch lines. It also forces me to try to draw cleaner lines, instead of so many sketchy ones. A win win. (that and Im used to using a pen, as ive done inktober for 5 years)
Im using a rather, generic writing pen, so the outlines of some of the shapes (like the perspective ones) are thicker so I can tell those were my outside lines while I was drawing the shapes. So I feel comfortable with where they are.
