The grasshopper is an insect of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera. To distinguish it from bush crickets or katydids, it is sometimes referred to as the short-horned grasshopper. Species that change colour and behaviour at high population densities are called locusts.

This is wonderful. I don't have time to go explore the video time lapse or the tutorial, so I am faving it to look back later. Thanks so much for sharing those links. They have really helped me come a long way in my own art.

Ok last question.... Do you use smooth bristol paper or what kind do you use?
π: 0 β©: 1
It depends, this one is Canson Lineal sketch 160 g/m^2 with certain sepia tone. I mostly use smooth Bristol 250 g/m^2 for realism but also Derwent and HahnemΓΌelle... hope it helps!
