The perspective/foreshortening on those hammer arms is just exquisite. Always impressed by the way you mirror the back wing with the foreground wing the same way with insects and birds. It's so hard to get that right.
6:40 You can also hold shift while using the Brush to make straight lines, which in my opinion is more comfortable and faster than the line tool. You just need to make a dot when the line starts, hold shift and make another dot when the line ends.
But if you have the pressure for opacity button selected for a brush, this makes that more difficult, so you can always temporarily uncheck that if needed.
Well this one seems interesting… I’ll have to do this after I catch up on yesterday’s prompt! I actually have used a mechanical typewriter! It didn’t have any paper in it, but I remember enjoying playing with all the keys!
The electric typewriters were only for the best in class. Most were manuals. That was in the eighties ( a country high school). Still the best class subject I taken, typing is so useful.
I wrote seven novels on an Adler portable mechanical typewriter, published with Doubleday and Fawcett. There was so much retyping involved, I switched to a computer as soon as they became available, and lost about 20 pages of work on a Radio Shack TRS 80 when it crashed.
Damn, now I have nostalgia to my schooldays when they actually threw one of these infront of us and made us practice. Even tho they were already very much not in use anymore. XD
That moment when you realize you have the real version of today’s reference in the garage!

I have been doing the exercises everyday so far, i intend to see it through. On the Journey with Blaise! Lets draw a Les Paul!!!
Love this so much Aaron, please keep doing it! 😊

Lovin the inspiration, thank you🎉
I’m so old I learned to type on manual typewriters in junior high school. Was a workout for the fingers.
Love this, definitely keep doing as its got me drawing again, thanks, 😊
This is great sir
I drew a Sholes and Glidden typewriter. I love how beautiful it looks like it was designed to be a mantle piece.
Great series! Thanks!
your new videos are engaging and insightful
Really enjoying these videos Aaron!

I can't wait for Monday!!
such a simple object, but I had so much fun!
I took typing in high school in the 1970s and we had to switch back and forth between electric and mechanical typewriters.
I learned typing when I was 12. My sister learned it two years earlier on a mechanical. I got the first electrical one!
I have one in my cabinet. mechanical typewriter, and ive taken lessons on them. :D
Gives me retro 101 Dalmatian vibes!
My thoughts exactly!
There's no insect in this!!? Should have put Cri-Kee jumping on the keys. xD

I used a type-writer, and LOTS of correction tape 😣. I don’t know why we learned to type on a typewriter, because we had computers at the time.
Im going to draw this typewriter from memory … for an extra challenge . 😅
I was so ready to draw more cool bugs 😢
