@Stan Prokopenko Great video! Can't wait to get started! My 11yo daughter watched this with me and said, "He is so funny! I bet he tells a lot of dad jokes! His kids must be laughing all day!" XD

@Stan Prokopenko are there line exercises we could do to practice those confident, sweeping lines outside of actual drawings (kind of like the ellipses in the Mario mushrooms)? Would it be beneficial to make random CSI lines over and over as warm up/practice? Thanks!

There's an upcoming lessons where I'll show you 6 warmup exercises to practice confident lines. The ones Nathan linked to are good, and some of them are in my video too.
What helped me a lot were the first exercises in drawabox (https://drawabox.com)
Tables of Circles and Ellipses
Ghosted Planes
Connecting Dots
Superimposed Lines
And using a pen with a stark and consistent line thickness. i.e. no ballpoint. plus rotating the paper constantly to get it in position where you are comfortable.
It takes a lot of time to retrain your motor skills to get used to using your whole arm.

Alright! Submitting on time. :D! So, I think I went into too much detail for sure. Especially with the skeleton. I really had a hard time simplifying that one. Anyway, looking forward to the critique.
