A question about references in lesson 4.

Hello everyone.

I am currently working on lesson 4, and was wondering if it is ok to use crustaceans as references.

While scoobyclub is right in general, in this case crustaceans are allowed for lesson 4, and you'll even find a couple demonstrations of them on the informal demos page.

They're what I'd recommend to anyone with arachnophobia.

Thank you for answering me. I wish I have seen it before finishing the lesson, because I would have enjoyed drawing crustaceans more :,) .

I would stick to insects and arachnids. That's what the lesson is about and I can't see a useful reason to ignore that.

Alright, Thank you.

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
