I've always liked cross hatching. I find it to be therapeutic in a way.
try stippling ;p
I totally agree!
ApplePieOG Stippling on the other hand. I find that as a form of torture.

Hey u there
This video showed me that there were a lot of things about cross-hatching technique I didn't know yet. This style of drawing takes a lot of patience but the tips in this video were really helpful. Thanks for another great vid Crilley!
You're very welcome :)
I do love your general technique videos, and the illustration you've created here while teaching the technique is truly captivating.
MellowJelly Thanks!
Yay! A new Mark Crilley vid! I love the narrated videos. You are my inspiration Mark.
I have a new found interest for crosshatching, I love your videos.
Thank you!
Hey the i just noticed that the art teacher at my school bought your Mastering Manga books!
Tell your teacher I said thanks! :)
Oooh. What an honor for him! His work simply means is recognized.
@@jaytamayo4694 You're commenting on a video that is four years old, not many people are going to see your comments.
Oh hallo Adolf, how have you been?
The Tinker me you twat
I love watching Mark's videos. I adore cross hatching and this was the best technique ever!!!!
Thank you Linda ^^
Wow!! You are a great, motivating teacher. I so appreciate how you explain and demonstrate your approach in a straightforward manner -- no jargon, no over complication. You encouraged all of us watching to try your suggestions out ASAP. Your approach instills a sense of confidence in those listening to you. THANK YOU!!!!!
David Keenan Thank you David; glad I can help :)
I remember when I was in year six and my teacher told us that crosshatching was just doing lines on top of each other and she didn't really tell us how to do it properly, so everyone's work looked a mess. This is a really helpful video and I'm definitely going to practice crosshatching with my fine-liner pens.
A great piece of art work, you just did your work here in your natural way, it depends now on the level of the students, how much they can learn out of it. Thank you very much for showing cross hatching in real time window.
I appreciate you including your "real time elapsed" counter to give us a sense of the amount of patience and work it takes to get these results.
Thanks Larry :)
I enjoy watching technique videos, such as this one. It helps clarify things, not to mention, I had a million ideas for pictures to use this on. Thank you so much, for your videos. I enjoy watching them, and I enjoy your sense of humor.
I think i prefer videos like these where you teach us techniques instead of particular things or people, it helps since it's easier for us to apply it. Thanks mark~
I first watched your videos in 7th grade after school at a nearby library. Changed my entire life forever.
This is one of my favorite videos that you have done yet. This technique was fascinating and resulted in a very beautiful outcome. Please, if the urge does strike you, another video in this area of artwork would be very, very nice. Perhaps something on character drawing with the use of crosshatching. That would be very cool. I appreciate this video greatly. Keep up the awesome work, Mark.
I love these technique and also the general "understanding" (like anatomy, perspective and coloring etc) videos. Much more useful than just watch you draw one thing in one particular pose and lighting!
lol I wrote that before I watched the video and realized you actually ask the question at the end :D
I love your organic crosshatching! I’ve seen mostly the harsh machine looking cross hatching and am not a fan. The gouache is brilliant; and the ink outline, excellent instruction and flow. Thank you!
I drew two of this guys pictures in 5 7 days a few hours a time and and id love to show them there so detailed ive actualy amazed everyone whos seen them.the lips i did were identicle.keep up the tutorials on realism.thanks for helping my drawing take a new level.literaly.
Seeing how I just used your explanations in this video to make the first cross-hatching illustration I'm proud of, I think it is time to say THANK YOU for all your advice and patience :).
With this video, I just realized how much from an individual's character shows in the technique picked and the way it is utilised/performed. Or at least that is my impression.
Adequate pace, engaging theme, think you actually ARE showing both the technique and how to draw the image. Above all, you have great teaching style, Thank you.
Your explanations are so good . So good to see time lapse . You realize it's not a good idea to get stuck on small details it's the finished piece that's important .🤗
I find your technique videos more enjoyable than "how to draw [Character]" videos.
Often, a technique is the sort of skill needed for an artist or designer to elevate their work to a new level. When a technique is plotted out, it fills in blanks that have remained a mystery. The character drawings involve techniques, but for anyone looking for the breakdown on how to do them, it'll remain lost on the mystery.
For a long time I was stuck at a hobbiest skill level (drawing inactivity seems to have put me back there too), and all my drawing research amounted to very little. Eventually I picked up little techniques, and I felt like I leveled up! This trend continued with new skills like life drawing. Cross hatching was always one of those things that I couldn't do very well. So videos like this are very illuminating. :)
I'm a "conventional" tattooartist and allways looking for ways to expend my knowledge on designs. I like the etched feeling of a design and this is helping so much. Thank you Mark (Sorry for my bad English)
I like the "how to" videos like this that are specific to technic, cause it's rather helpful. And also gives a sense of your own style within the technique. I would love more like this one. But don't discontinue the others, cause those are enjoyable as well, where you focus on how to draw a specific image.
Really cool effect. I love crosshatching with biros/ballpoint pens as well as you can get a lot of change in tone by applying different amounts of pressure.
Yes, technique videos are the way to go! I've long been a cross-hatching fanatic so this was particularly cool, but insights on any techniques would be really useful. Nice to hear your opinion on dip pens, also. I find the scratchiness actually helps with control; the 'softer' felt or rollerball nibs seem prone to gliding too easily, unless you're very assertive with the lines.
I can totally relate to what you are talking about building the drawing up gradually. Most of the time I draw on my computer and sometimes I use a brush with only 4% opacity and repeatedly stroke the same area many times to slowly add color with very high control/precision.
All my professors always taught me to do the chain link style cross hatch and in a line. And love to use ink, I just gave up cross hatching. It is great to see a technique in a new light and I think I will have to return it again.
Really appreciate the 'time spent on illustration' tag. Puts it in a nice perspective. You're always quite inspiring Mr. Crilley ^ - ^
It's amazing to look at your drawing and think that this started out with a blank piece of paper. It took time to do each individual line, and it blows my mind.
Thanks Mackenzie :)
Your welcome! (:
LOVED IT!!! and adding the white and black dots made it look like there was rain drops on it, it looks so cool your so good at what u do!!!!
This may be one of my favorite videos of Mark's. I'm not actually into drawing manga/chibi style stuff, but I can't help but pay attention to Mark's artistic abilities. Crosshatching is a technique I favor, and I feel pretty confident about my ability with it. It really lends itself to certain textures, including feathers, fur, skin, and stone. I love the extra details that really made the stony texture pop! I have never thought about adding a different technique over it to further suggest a specific surface.
One thing that I think about when I'm using crosshatching is how the lines are suggesting the contour of my shapes. The direction of lines, when placed "properly" (I don't like using that word when it comes to artistic design, but you get my point), can add so much dimension to your sketch. You let the lines dictate the shape (specifically smooth curves) as much as they dictate the contrast.
Last thing - I also enjoy crosshatching because it reminds me of classical sketches and works of art. Using paint would obviously be an ode to Van Gogh, visually. I don't know why the style is so uplifting to me, but I really just get a feeling of joy and sense of beauty when taking in a well done crosshatching piece, more so than most other types of art work. I highly support more crosshatching and other technique videos.
I always crosshatch in my artwork, but you've shown me a new light to the technique. Thank you!
More cross-hatching lessons, pleeze!!!!! This was tremendously helpful.
Thanks Denise :)
Indeed it was helpful. :33
U guys good
Thank you! We did crosshatching in art class once and I sucked at it. I really like your approach. And more technique vids is a great idea.
How's life
This was great! I always stayed away from crosshatching because I felt like I was going to ruin a drawing because I didn't know how to do it properly. Thank you so much!
Technique videos are really interesting. I like learning new techniques so that I can try them out, combine them, perhaps, alter them slightly, to make my own individual pieces of art.
Thanks, Mark, I enjoyed your style of hatching.
Cross hatching is how I taught myself to draw my first real piece of art I was proud of, and I didn't even know what it was called.
Thank you cocaine! and thank you for this amazing tutorial
MORE on this topic. It looks so great.
I like how mark always has some sort of comedy in his videos lol like and are you free this Saturday to drive me to the store? No... -.- XD
KingOfDerpz ^_^
This is great! I crosshatch somewhat already but this lesson was an excellent inspiration. thank you!
Thank you Michael
I've been using this technique for quite a while, but I always used the same directions for each of the layers. Your version looks a lot more alive an less mechanical, than the one I used. Learned a lot! Thanks for another amazing video Mark!
Hey Mark, if I began to draw I watched many videos and read many books and I tried to crosshatching. But in the end it always looks very bad. I kept trying on, but no way. Then I let it be and try some other ways to shade and bulid my art. And now I see what you are doing and it`s so simple! I learned so much from you and your videos. Mark you`re my personel art hero!!!!! :)
Juliette Zschage Thank you Juliette! ^^
Challenge, Do an illustration for a video, using only basic materials that one might have at a normal desk. #2 pencils, cheap ballpoint pens, white out, a pink eraser, printer paper and or lined paper.
I would really like to see how creative you'd get when working with a limited medium, and it would really prove that its about practice more than materials, and that buying the best materials out there wont make you a good artist. As you've said many times, your audience can make great illustrations without spending 200$ on materials, and shouldn't limit themselves to using everything you use just because you're a good artist..
I totally agree with this. Too many people think they need the most expensive supplies to be a good artist. Prove 'em wrong, Mark!
he's drawn toothless with nothing more than a piece of bbq charcoal and the bag it came in
True, but I'd more like to see him use materials that students would have. It would be interesting to see what he comes up with.
He's Mark, the eraser is useless.
Honesty, all you need for drawing is a pencil and a peice of paper, nothing more! So I agree with you completely! :3
LOVE all your videos, and would definitely like to see more technique videos like this. You explain things so well, neither talking down to us or over our heads with technical jargon. Your time and talent is much appreciated!
I like the videos where you explain technique, i often have to go through trial and error to achieve certain effects and it discourages me from drawing because I fail most of the time. More of these please :)
i like the technique videos. one of the hardest things with art books is it gives you the basic techniques of how to do something but its hard to conceptualize until you see it done. It's the difference of just learning the rules to a game and seeing how its played.
Wow!! I have just learnt an awesome cross hatch technique from you... Thank you Master 🙏😇
based around contrast tone then color , was taught like in a water coloring to start with light lines and moving to shadow , a great master of this was Albrecht Dürer in his sketches and engraved printmaking , for offical illustrations it lasted right up til 1820s before they started using photographic plating ,
So, you are finally admitting, to the world, that you are addicted to gauach paint… Awesome technique video, I always enjoy them and watch them several times. And I am learning many new techniques and methods from yours and other video makers. Thank You again! Keep them coming.
Phenomenal. The white gauche really makes those cracks look real. I really like these technique videos. I'd love to see one on how to calculate shadows using perspective.
Loved it, really should due more technique videos. Also loved the fact your reassurance that everyone has there own way to due different techniques and that it's ok to be different. I think we often forget that along the way.
love, love, love!!! the technique videos!!! Particular characters... not so much, although it does help to fine tune the eyes regarding proportions and I do appreciate them. But yeah, by far I love technique videos a lot more. I tend to get caught up in the details of small areas of my drawings and lose the oversight. The technique videos definitely help me gain some perspective of where I'm at, where I want to end up and how to get me there. This detail nitpicking is what has always hurt me when trying to do cross hatching since it is somewhat of a "free-er" technique. Thanks so much!
Oh, and btw... thanks to you I finished my final fashion illustration class in college with and A+... So THANK YOU!
;) And yes, I have also shown my appreciation for your help by buying some of your books :P Keep them coming!
Carolina Hennig Thank you for your kind words, Carolina :)
First off, thanks for another great video. I like all your instructional videos but I think that tutorials teaching specific techniques can be very useful for the aspiring artist. I've had trouble with shading and this video helped a lot.
I love when you do vids like this Mark. Its fun to hear you talk about the drawing and your experiences. I like to just sit down with something to eat while watching and listening. It brings a relaxing tone to watching the vid that reminds me alot of what drawing brings me. KEEP doing these commentary ones as well as time lapse! :D
I've been wanting to try crosshatching for a while now but couldn't find any good videos. Your video was very helpful, your commentary really does aid in the understanding. I think you should do more technique videos. Not just for me but the other budding artists out there.
Mark I just want to say that i love your videos and they keep me going with my own art. They are very helpful to myself as well as my friends, and we have bought all of your books. Just thanks so much for your videos, they really do help.
I find cross hatching is the greatest form of meditation it’s super relaxing and absolutely beautiful to see the end result
Hey Markcrilley, just wanted to say i find this light years more useful than your usual videos(no offence). Learning a technique i find much better since when you usually show how to draw a specific thing we learn just that, one specific character/object etc in one specific pose
PLEASE POST MORE LIKE THIS!!!
I will, for sure. :)
I love this. Please do more technique videos. Cross hatching and other techniques. Please and thank you.
Technique videos are great!
I really enjoyed this, I've been reading Miyazaki's Nausicaa manga and found the cross hatching effect really mesmerizing! Thanks for the video!
Technique videos are incredibly useful, so I'd like more of those.
Granted, I like your How To Draw ones just as much.
Crosshatching is one of those drawing styles where the artist looks at it and sees many lines and the observer sees a normal drawing, beautiful :)
I loved this tutorial! I found the way that you gave instruction on the technique rather than a character really helps
Kelsey Doolittle Thank you Kelsey!
I like this video a lot. I always wonder how long it takes people to draw. It's nice to do things in real time then fast forward. Really nice. This video is gold!!!!
omg crilley how could you forget the blushies geezzzz
Cross-hatching is a technique that involves covering your picture completely in blushies, haha.
Jeremy Kane Great point!!
This always has been a little bit of a mystery to me, so this video was great!!! Though, I don't know if I'd be patient enough to crosshatch an entire picture…
Thanks Mark!!! You're always an inspiration to watch!!!
Very good information. I really thought the addition of the white added so much to the illusion of depth. Thanks so much!
I agree with you about using the old fashioned pen and nibs, especially given how heavy my hand is when drawing. The Tachikawa fountain pens were especially horrible, as I would oftentimes cut grooves into the paper trying to use them.
Thank you for doing a study on Cross Hatching! I went through school (design, not illustration) really not liking cross hatching. Rather, I didn't like how ~I~ did cross hatching, because I could never really do it right, or to a way that sat well with me. After watching this, I realize it's because I never explored other methods of doing it. And now I feel like I need to! Thanks a bunch!
I just stumbled onto your videos, and I think I'll stick around!
For me, it's really hard to determine which direction the lines are gonna go or how to make then connect or how to make it not look messy
I absolutely love these technique videos! I found that a lot of the "how to draw" videos are less help than these (not that they aren't helpful, they're both really good) because to get to the level that you draw at just takes hours upon hours of practice.
Thanks Ruler20000!
Thanks a million Mark. Cross hatching has always kinda of been a mystery to me and I just couldn't understand it from books. Plus I'm in an area and situation where there really aren't any artist to demonstrate it. But this video has shed a whole new light on the technique. I will definitely be giving it another attempt soon. :)
I was doing the same thing a minute before I watched your video and found it inspiring and useful. Thanks a lot Sir
Can you please make a video on how to draw fire and color it?
Most of my artworks involve fire and I just suck at it.
Agreed! There are so many different kinds of fires, it would be cool to see a bit on rendering different kinds.
Also, I would like to see a bit on shading two different light sources, like holding a candle while a Bon fire burns in the background. That always gives me trouble, but it may be a bit of a psychological hurdle.
Martin Wright I saw that one.. But its not exactly something you could use for a lot of drawings.
I didn't really think that mastering Manga showed enough but this video really did!
Good job on that one Mark, this actually sparked some good memories of the tomb raider games for me, it sparked the same sense of awe. It is an excellent piece of art.
Loved the idea of showing techniques. Thanks Mark.
I like this a lot. I use to go radical line changes in cross hatching but I think this small line change works better. I'm going to try it today actually.
Great video, hope to see more techniques.
Awesome drawing. Thanks for sharing this technique. I have always struggled with cross hatching but you just demystified it for me. Thanks.
thank you for teaching techniques, you focus on how to achieve the pictures and the steps to take but sometimes we need a little more technique.
I've found over time, that I prefer watching your video's were your just teaching techniques, more than your how to draw videos. Most of the stuff you teach on your how to draw video's I already know how to do, so these kind of video's seem to help me more, by teaching me stuff I never thought about doing before.
It was nice to see your technique on cross-hatching. I also found quill pens to be kinda scratchy on the paper, though that might just be because I'm heavy handed if I'm not paying attention.xD
Yay I wanted a video like this for a long time
Crosshatching has always been a favorite of mine. Excellent video. I like this type.
The effect your created is impressive, I love it
this is really freaking awesome!and i am always amazed how these tiny guache spots make the details so much more vivid
I love the way your technique looks. Definitely a different approach than a lot of mangaka with dip pens. I'm specifically trying to imitate Yusuke Murata's approach, especially in concert with a brush pen for the darkest areas, where the hatching is an extension of the solid black.
Also, that gouache at the end really made a huge difference. It immediately made it vastly more three dimensional. Belated thanks for this :)
This really is some good work, and I was wondering if you could do more story telling videos with you drawing stuff I think that would be really enjoyable. And I thank you for all the help you have done, even if you don't know it, you did help me improve my art and i appreciate it. And thanks for making my birthday even better, not alot beats watching your videos so.. THANKS MARK !! :D
You're very welcome Rylee!
When you do a how to videos, I always wonder how long does it take you to draw a picture with a great amount of picture like this one.
Yes there's certainly a lot of picture in this picture.
Hi mark i am from Portugal and i wanted to say that these how to draw manga lessons really helped me, thanks for everything. By the way I also think that mastering manga 2 on ebook is amazing
I prefer these kinds of videos talking more about technique than how to draw a specific character :)
I tend to crosshatch the contours of my drawings and never really get to cover the entire drawing will use this vid as a reference thanks for doing this I hope there's more ink techniques thank you
I think a lot of artists experience the same feelings about the process of drawing you have explained here.
That was awesome! Please do more technique videos. Learning the concept is much better then just following instructions
Oh, man. I thought you were gona show us that elegant and intricate crosshatching technique, you know, the kind seen most commonly on currency bills.
mark i seriously think your drawings should be on a museum, good video btw
Beautiful work man! Very illustrative, thank you for the technique and tips!
+Yefimi Perez Thank you Yefimi :)
Mark it is absolutely amazing that you produce art like this just to show like a technique. Just . . . wow. Gorgeous drawing (as always). Just bought Mastering Manga one and two and ordered Miki Falls. Can't wait to read them!
Thanks Katie!
I have been blessed.,,,
One of the best arts I've seen in RUclips videos. Very nice!
