Hi,
I don't understand when it's ok to use the ruler and when I should use the freehand method in this lesson...
Thank you
You're allowed to use a ruler in your everyday object drawings, wherever you feel you'll benefit from it. The form intersections should still be freehanded, although if you did them with a ruler I wouldn't be that concerned.
Thank you! I will try some objects freehanded and some with the ruler.
To be clear, it is best that you use a ruler for them all. The purpose is so that you are able to focus on the meat of the lesson, without being distracted by other matters. For working on your freehand linework, you've got the earlier lessons and exercises.
Oh okay alright I didn't understand that part!
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.
