Hi @Marissa Scott I got skins from a local supply shop when I started out but it was abit hard and rubbery. I think they either got it from Amazon or Temo 😅. But I got some skins from SHEIN of all places and they worked pretty well and the feel was much better. I will link it below for you. I’m my experience though you are going to either slow down the hand speed or increase the voltage to saturate the lines in one pass. 3mm is best to get https://api-shein.shein.com/h5/sharejump/appjump?link=RRrbaoPnLJw_8&localcountry=ZA&shc=2_RRrbaoPnLJw&url_from=GM75909999915

@Steve Kretz Thanks for the warm welcome and the advice! Hearing how you managed all that sketching while balancing life is a huge motivator. You're spot on about hitting the sketchbooks. I actually hit a wall about a week back and felt completely stuck. Pressing reset, slowing down, and just sticking to pencil and paper was exactly what I needed. It definitely worked, because yesterday I tackled my first full-size realism piece and was really happy with how it came together. Ready to keep grinding!
