If an insect reference image has a leg or legs that are completely hidden (common with beetles), do they need to be included in a construction? Several of the demos have drawings with fewer than six legs. Some include the entry points of hidden legs on the thorax, but others do not.
If they're completely hidden, you do not need to draw them. If you've got a section of a leg that is visible, then you should draw at least a complete form for the part that is visible.
thank you
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
