In the video for lesson one exercise 4, /u/Uncomfortable uses a ruler.
This can be seen here:

8 second mark.
This ruler is transparent with a grid. What is this type of ruler called? And where would one typically go and buy such a ruler?

So while it's a ruler I purchased at a local art supply store either where I live now, or back when I was living in LA, googling "transparent red grid ruler" did turn up some promising results, like this amazon listing. It's on canadian amazon, but it should give you the brand name, and a sense of what to look for.

Thank you so much for this quick response. From the links, it seems this type of ruler is called a "LetterCraft" ruler.
I would really like a metric one... But searching for metric lettercraft ruler yields no relevant results...
