Chose a $2 ballpoint over my fancy markers for a 3am doodle and the ugly lines actually felt freeing
I grabbed a cracked Bic from my junk drawer instead of my usual micron pens, and the way it skipped and bled made this terrible cat look way funnier than anything I've drawn in months, has anyone else leaned into bad tools on purpose just to shake up your art?
A bad tool can hide sloppy choices, but a good pen tells the truth about your drawing every time. Learning to make clean lines with a real pen taught me way more than leaning on the mess.
