Hi Vega! First, thanks for checking my work. I wanted to ask you if you have any example of the legs construction to get the swelling correctly. About the ink part, I'll be careful next time.

Thanks again!

Hey DECEPE,

I don't have direct examples of insect drawings, but these are some images that Uncomfy referenced when he critiqued the wrapping forms in my L5 homework:

https://imgur.com/IINKdQA (sphere wrapping around a box)

I had a look at my own L4 homework and I think it's OK to draw leg masses like you did for the weevil at this stage. ^.^;; But having read a bunch of L5 official critique and gotten crit on my L5, wrapping masses around leg sausages is something that Uncomfy points out a lot. I've noticed that the drawing method he recommends is a call back to L2 form intersections.

Hope this helps, good luck with L5.

Thanks again Vega, it's really useful!

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
