    Thanks for the advices!
    While I was looking at this, I remembered that as a kid, I used to draw part of maps, characters and objects, and then cut them out from the paper and play around with the images like it was a moving fantasy world on my table.

      ​@@mapcrow Thank you for posting the link to the orange foam grip!! I've been looking for a thick one like that for ages (I have wrist pain from drawing too much when I was younger). I bought some different grips on Amazon in the past but they were all too small/tight to fit over Microns. Yours looks exactly like what I was looking for. Hopefully your Amazon link is an affiliate link so you can at least get a penny or two from my purchase heh.
      And thanks @Hunter Nash for asking this question - I was too dim to just read the video description so I went scrolling through comments to see if anybody had already asked about this.

    What size is the grid on your paper? 1cm x 1cm? 1 inch x 1 inch?
    Also, would you like to do a video on more special types of textures such as ice/glaciers, a sand floor, or a floor texture that represents underbrush in a forest while not diminishing the grids?
    I often end up with unreadable masses of frustrating lines...

    This is awesome , I am 50 and played RPG back in the 80s and started GMing arouund 6th grade or so. In college I managed a pretty good sized party and we would play marathon sessions, and I ad to create a lot of original content. I still have a lot Warhammer FRP and Cyberpunk 2020 materials and Ive been thinking about producing marketable adventures out of them. Its great to see the resurgence

    Hey man. If somebody draws something
    and then you draw the same thing right on top of it, not going out-side the designated original art, what do you call that?
    (Jus' kidding. Looks great!)

    you say that sci-fi gives you interest, but how about steam punk? scrap rusty metal? I would love to see some steam punk isomentric drawing, it's so hard to find. But despite that, thank you, you are inspiring and i love your work
