I'm doing the basics of this kind of stuff too. I'm having a bit of trouble with an exercise called "form dissections" where you are supposed to put texture on a cutaway of this blob. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around texture. But if I'm pushing out of my comfort zone I guess I'm on the right track.
Speaking of big spiders, I live in Arizona. We have several big-ass tarantulas living in the yard. And we regularly get baby tarantulas trying to get into the house, or longingly looking in the windows. LOL I don't know why they want in, they always need rescuing if they do. But even though they look scary, tarantulas are rather gentle. They don't even have a poisonous bite, and rarely engage in hostile behavior unless threatened. They'd prefer to run away actually. And their main defensive weapon is flicking irritating hairs at predators. I've never seen one do that though. ^^ They are usually chill.
Keep it up man, your drawings are awesome, do more! :) BTW, I adore cuttlefish. They are so cute.
Thanks man, I will !
Yeah,it is kinda hard to mimic a desirable texture you want,but when you nailed it down it becomes super easy! One thing that helped me with textures is to understand how to use it. Just draw a simple square,triangle or a sphere and fill it with texture. Use different hatching in order to achieve smooth or rough surface. The best thing to do is to look on the internet how others use their lines and copy it.
About spiders,when spider is on my sight,you know, i am cool and relaxed,but when i loose 'em, I am getting nervous... :D But despite of that, i like spiders! Some of them are deadly and captivating at the same time!
