Likewise, I too am struggling.
I am Australian and our spiders are nightmare fuel.
I am happy to provide a nice picture of my Kellie for Matt to demonstrate this surface on for those of us who can’t do the spider thing.

Hey Matt. I saw this question before but it was not answered. Do you need some sort of fixative, and if so, what kind and how do I use it? Many thanks!!! 🙂

Matt just worsened my arachnophobia with that intro music.

Why not do the grid and pencil drawing on the opposite side of the colored pencil?

Matt I am finding it difficult to find Duralar paper here in Ontario ( Kingston). I could get it on Amazon but there are many different kinds. Could you tell me some specifics? Thanks Linda

I’m sorry Mat but I just can’t do this spider. I was traumatized by a wolf spider dropping down from my rearview mirror while I was driving! True story. I hope you will do another CP drawing on the film.

Hello All – I’m glad to find this lesson working on drafting film. I bought some of the Dura-Lar a couple years ago but only did one small drawing then forgot about it.
Something I didn’t see mentioned in your video which I felt was a definite advantage to this film is that you can turn it over and color over areas you want to increase in intensity or show an under-color for. I may have missed it on this video, so I’ll revisit, but for me it is worth mentioning.
Also for those with arachnophobia, this is a great opportunity to practice drawing shapes and areas rather than “seeing” the subject!

Hi Matt,
Thank you for showing us this new and different approach to coloured pencils. I’m very interested in trying this out. I’m wondering about the slice pen cutter you use to pull out little hairs on on the surface of the polyester sheet. Apart from that surface and medium, have you found it useful with other projects? Would love to hear about it. Thanks!
