I made template for the Texture Analysis and 25 Textures Challenge if anyone needs it:
I feel I should mention something I try to call out when students use templates for their exercises - while there are no rules against this, I do find that the process of setting up the structure of an exercise - the table for the tables of ellipses, the guidelines for the super imposed lines, and these rows for the texture analysis exercise - it is actually a valuable use of time in that it helps us get into the mindset of approaching something in a structured manner. Having to draw those lines, employing a ruler, and all of that in a very specific manner can put us in a better frame of mind to keep the specific instructions of a given exercise in mind.
I should not have posted it. Sorry. I have no problem if you want to delete the post.
No worries, I think it's fine to leave it up. I figured it was useful in the sense that it was an opportunity to mention the point, so anyone who looks at the template will also see my commentary below.
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
