Stephen, as good as you are at drawing, I am even more impressed by your ability to explain the 'why' of what you've drawn. Since I subscribed, my ability to render what I see has quickly and steadily improved. Thank you!
A veritable visual encyclopedia of the potential range and power of hatching effects. Very valuable for artists whatever the level of subjects they desire to tackle, from simple to complex!
I personally absolutely love the pen and ink hatching style. I'm always reminded of old R. Crumb illustrations. Also, in case it isn't obvious to everyone: you need a very thin pen to have good hatching.
Thanks for this video it was very helpful. I don't think I've ever commented before but have watched many of your videos. Thanks for all your time and effort you put in helping people. Take Care
What a wonderfully concise explanation of the fullness that is hatching. The piece at 8:18 and the next one are my new favorites! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques, while prompting the creativity within us. Much LOVE and BLESSINGS to you and yours.
Excellent video! I think where I struggle sometimes is when the perspective it's straight on but looking up, and you have a slight overhanging roof, it's deciding what direction the hatches should go in that example
Lots of great examples, thank you! In the house at about 5:30, you have solid lines across the front of the house demarcating the shadow/light seperation in addition to the cross hatching. It seems pretty effective for that drawing but is it good in general - is there a better (more organic looking) way to lay down the edge of a sharp shadow?
Stephen. I'd love to purchase your course but honestly a full year subscription of Class 101 is quite expensive, especially knowing that only part of that money will be directed to you. I'd be happy to pay a monthly sub while tackling your course but unfortunately that option is not available.
That’s understandable. My course there is not freehand drawing, it’s based on a grid and pencil underdrawing, so it may not suit you anyway if you like these videos. I do give one hour critiques of drawings and give direction for future focus. However, I do charge for this. If you’re interested in the details, please email via my website or DM me on Instagram and mention you’re from RUclips 😀

Thanks Joseph. Yes, the pen choice has a number of implications 😀

I have a playlist on hatching and a number of videos address this challenge 😀
Excellent, thank you. You explained that so well.
Great to hear. Thanks 😀

You’re right. It’s not the best way. At times I use dotted lines. I was just in a bit of a hurry, truth be told. 😳
thanks
No problem😀
What is your perspective when you make line parallel like in road
It depends on how level the ground is, and where eye level is. 😀

@@stephentraversart Thanks for your response!
Hatching =/= Shading
Well, it can be used for that obviously, but there’s so much more. 😀
@@stephentraversart yup :)
