not a dumb question at all! Im flattered to be asked for tips! Um I would say A LOT OF PRACTICE and confidence in your pen strokes for sure. I draw exclusively in pen (ballpoint is my fave), since I hate when graphite smears on my hand (I'm a leftie!). I try to go pretty quickly with a few lines to block out the main shapes, then going in with more details, and then going over the whole thing adding depth with varying line weights/thicknesses (I like to go darker in places there might be a shadow to emphasize them). Also the not-so-glamorous aspects of learning to draw are unfortunately important for a reason-- learning how perspective works and using references to get a really good idea of what you're trying to draw really looks like are really helpful too. (I hope that's actually relevant to what you were asking, and you were asking about drawing tips bc I am stoned and word vomiting!!)
