Hey Bjork, awesome stuff here, loving the progress you've made since your first posts. You sure are putting a lot of hours into improving your skills.
You mentioned wanting to be more confident with your brush and pencil strokes. I recommend drawing with a pen, particularly felt tip, for improving your confidence with your strokes. Right now I'm going through the Dynamic Sketching course at Draw a Box, which make me use a felt-tip pen. Using a felt-tip pen has REALLY improved my line economy, since, well, I can't erase it and everything I do adds more ink. I have to think out every mark. That improves confidence. Also, I had to learn how to control pen pressure well. I love these pens now. <3
Eagerly awaiting your next post! :)
