crosshatch

A whimsical cross-hatched sketch depicts an elephant.

In this captivating cross-hatched pencil shading, a tranquil village scene comes to life. The intricate strokes create a harmonious blend of light and shadow, showcasing the serene beauty of rural life. Thatched roofs, winding pathways, and towering trees are meticulously detailed, inviting viewers to step into the peaceful simplicity of village existence. The gentle interplay of shades and textures evokes a sense of nostalgia and calm, capturing the essence of a timeless village story.

Crosshatching was used to build up the shadows. It's probably my favourite drawing technique. Works best with pen and ink. This is the cover image for one of my children's picture books.

Biking is my second love. And I should do more images like this as my imagination flies when I bike.

I originally had something else planned to draw today but I have to let the gesso dry for 24 hours before I can do anything on the board, so instead I decided to do something simple today and just draw a flower using a pen and ink crosshatch style that I found online that I thought was really cool

A fun drawing to do. I usually do a lot of crosshatching, but for this one I went for the smoothness, better to capture the light, I suppose, where crosshatching can be a little distracting. Or look like hair! As some have said.

Still having a difficult time with crosshatching. '(ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ Why....Why you so difficult!!

Practice in crosshatching and drawing skulls in black ink pen, its not perfect but we are getting there folks! Also, special thanks to fellow doodle addict ❀Misti❀ for her awesome crosshatching tutorial, girl you are awesome!

Per special request :) this is my method for crosshatching. Feel free to comment and share your ideas.

My first attempt at cross-hatching with ink.

Cross hatching practice with ink.

Crosshatching and stippling practice with a ink dip pen. Requires immense patience.

Some more practice with crosshatch shading and the proportions are a bit off. I also somehow made the left side of the bottle fat and it drives me nuts. ヘ（。□°）ヘ Other than that I think it came out ok.

An image for an upcoming poetry book, using lots of crosshatching with Rapidograph pens.

We looked at line techniques and I made this character as part of one of my made up game universes. I used cross hatching to shade it. Slightly gorey.

Ah yes, another hand. I never really realized how expressive hands can be, and I've been drawing them a lot more recently. (I swear I won't only draw hands.) This week has been quite the experience and has made me step back and look at certain things. (Who knew physics could be a metaphor for life?) Anyway, hope everyone is doing well, have a great weekend/week.

ink on paper. Here’s another demon baby. This doodle in particular is one of my favorites. I’m looking forward to “digitizing” it through Procreate on my iPad. I used Micron pens for this doodle, and for the hatching/crosshatching. More doodles and creatures to come

ink on paper. I used Micron ink pens to doodle this kitty, and to make the hatching/crosshatching. Stay tuned for more doodles on Sketchbook A :3

Keeping up the practice! Thank you for looking at my drawing!

Had some fun doing some crosshatching. Wanted to see if it would give the trees more texture instead of just leaving it blank.

better than nothing i guess

This is an old piece I did for a shading assignment in high school art class. 3 techniques of shading used: tonal value, hatching and cross hatching

I was tired of carrying around a bunch of Microns. I want one or two refillable pens so I started with buying a new Lamy AL-Star Fountain Pen. I love it. I got the medium nib and am able to get a nice range of line width from it. This and maybe a fine nib and I'll be all set for a travel kit. This is the first page I drew with it.
