Hey! thanks a lot. She has like 3 different size pens. I've been recommended that brush pen from various people so I will definitely get that.

Yesterday I had a sneak peak at her paper and I'll get her some as well. As well as this book. Thank you so much for the suggestions :D
The best resource I’ve found is Alphonso Dunn. I bought his books and watch his videos on YouTube. He’s the reason I got into pen and ink to begin with

How about Pen & Ink Drawing: A simple guid by Alphonso Dunn? It teaches techniques and some fundamentals.
Yup, I actually just purchased his book couple weeks ago. "Pen & Ink Drawing: A Simple Guide"
So I have been working my way through Alphonso Dunn's two books on Pen & Ink(and the videos on his youtube channel). And John Muir Laws' nature journaling stuff. I warm up with the mark-making exercises from Lesson 1 of DrawABox. I also have been trying to improve my intuitions with perspective by doing this sort of stuff. The nature journaling is good because I can never think of what to draw and starting with rocks, plants, insects, birds, is a pretty straightforward progression to my mind.
As for if it is difficult, I am trying to keep these habits pretty simple and low-demand to start out. Even if I were to only spent 5 or 10 minutes drawing I'd still count it and be happy. Typically once I get started drawing it is easy to keep going. There have been a few days where all I've done is a page of ghosted lines and planes exercises.
Programming is one of those things that I've always been able to fall into a hole and lose all track of time with when I can get myself to do it. For whatever reason, I have a hard time getting myself to start it.
Out of all of them, meditating has probably been the hardest to get myself to do. The morning and night routines are kind of a gimme.
edit - oh, and Proko's figure drawing course
FYI, Alphonso is one to talk about plagiarizing.

I think it's both. As Bill Perkins says (NMA instructor) "don't overrender in the hope of looking good". I've a tendency to do that, probably my inexperience. Thanks for your honesty, it means a lot, I started to draw from the ground-up 2 years and half ago seriously.
I'm currently focusing on texture, volume and line quality with the book "Pen and Ink drawing : A Simple Guide" from Alphonso Dunn : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/0997046538/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm trying to apply to my favorite medium all the light theory I learned about too.
Maybe studies, time and practice will get me at my dream job and being concept artist !
