No cross hatching unless the texture really looks like that (which you'll find crumbled paper does not). The point of the assignment is that challenge that you only have black and white to work with and you have to determine the shapes of the shadows. Maybe take a look at some other submissions to see how people tackled the problem.
Every now and then I'll get someone asking me about which ruler I use in my videos. It's this Wescott grid ruler that I picked up ages ago. While having a transparent grid is useful for figuring out spacing and perpendicularity, it ultimately not something that you can't achieve with any old ruler (or a piece of paper you've folded into a hard edge). Might require a little more attention, a little more focus, but you don't need a fancy tool for this.
But hey, if you want one, who am I to stop you?
