hatch

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.

Cross hatching practice with ink.

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

An unicorn and friend of mine, his name’s Ermete. I love hatching.

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.

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.

I don't know what they are either bud

Rapidograph Pens used to create this image with lots of crosshatching. Drawn from my head.

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

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

I have found my new love in playing with the Glass Ink Pen where I can easily achieve specific lines that are hard to make with a regular pen. Here I am working to gain confidence in my permanent line work where I can't erase every second. I am also working to gain experience in cross hatching. which is very difficult.

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

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.

This creature lays it's eegs near cliffs to the sea. The eggs roll into the water and for about 7 days the sea will be quiet. When they hatch it storms. The Alkonost is in general friendly towards mankind.

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!

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

My first attempt at cross-hatching with ink.

I wanted to doodle something with hatching.... I have no clue what the picture shows and how to do hatching right, but I had some fun

From my main story

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.
