After finishing Lesson 4, and discovering Alphonso Dunn's very logical system of thinking about crosshatching direction, I decided to seriously challenge myself by inventing an insect from everything I remember about insects. References were forbidden. This is also my first deliberate drawing shaded with crosshatching. In parallell to DAB, I am doing Dorian Iten's realistic shading course. I have tried to apply the principles I have learned so far while simultaneously crosshatching, but I have yet to start his section on inventing your own shading, so obviously there are mistakes and unfinished business in this drawing.

Wescott Grid Ruler

Wescott Grid Ruler

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?
