I suggest you continue to learn sketch. After all, you have a foundation. Soft pen can only be a hobby in the future.
Sketch can be used as a stepping stone to college.
Don't listen to other people's nonsense Do not think that learning a skill well can be measured by time. Some people can write great words in a year. Some people practice hard for ten years and still write like dogs.
If you take the senior high school entrance examination, you'd better sketch. In the future, you can go to a school specializing in fine arts and enter the Academy of Fine Arts in the future.
Don't buy the best pen and paper, some things depend on talent and hard work.
LZ, 7 years, freshman, just finished the senior high school entrance examination. To tell the truth, I learned sketch for fun, and I really didn't take it seriously. But 99% of the people in our studio are counting on art. Now I am a sketch major and can only learn hard pen calligraphy. If you really want to eat this, you'd better learn to sketch.
