>just draw lines bro

Is there a big difference between expensive nibs and some cheaper ones? Do I need to order name brand ones or can I just roll with what they sell at my local art store?

How about brushes for inking? What kinds are the best?

Just hide the thread. You can't make these people see reason. Maybe when they get out of school without any skill to make a living with, they will understand.

My single post before I hide this shit thread:
Art exists to make people happy, not to stroke your own ego about how unique and special you are. You continue with this and you will end up flipping burgers because you are not creating any value for anyone with your art. Nobody will pay you to masturbate yourself.

I recommend copying drawings with crosshatching by good artists. Not just mindlessly but really try to think about why they put the lines the way they did. It helps a lot.

Pic related is a good example of an awesome artist who used hatching a lot.

Another good resource would be the book Pen Drawing the Illustrated Treatsie. I should have it stashed somewhere on my hdd, if you want it and can't find it with google then just write here and I'll look for it and upload.
