An Easy Cross Hatching Method!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Fed up with cross hatching a drawing and turning it into a tangled mess? This method works easily and can be applied to any form whatsoever. Print off the line drawing and practice the demo as many times as you like without the bother of having to do a line drawing or the worry of wasting it. There's a full sped up demo, then a simplified explanation of the way the method works followed by a few minutes of real time drawing from the demo. Everything you need to become a cross hatching expert!
What a great idea, taking a picture of your drawing to practice cross hatching before you ruin the original. Would not have occurred to me to do that.
Anything that makes it easier to experiment and take risks is a great learning process in drawing I think Gail. 😀
Love this idea. Now I can experiment without fear of destroying my line drawing
I did five years of art school and yet I learn more about technique from videos like yours than in any class.
Thank you.
That’s very encouraging for me, so I really appreciate your telling me. This video drawing stretched me a little, so I’m glad you found it helpful. 😀
That reminds me when I was in Art School I learned more from other fellow artist that the program itself. It was a great program and amazing teachers but what you get out of watching other artist and sharing the techniques we used, etc, was priceless. Same deal here.👍
This sir is genuinely passionate and genuinely love teaching ...
That is correct. You are very astute. 😀
Wow, outstanding demonstration. Thank you so much for sharing.
My pleasure Julio. I hope you have a go cross hatching it. 😀
I have always loved the classic illustrations of the 18th and 19th century. Think Winnie the Pooh original illustrations and Hans Christian Andersen books. I love the details drawn with just a pen, but I never knew what the technique was called. Since discovering your channel I can't help but take my pen and draw alongside your videos. Thank you so much!! Much love!
How wonderful to hear. The best drawings are the ones that bring us joy. 😀
Basically, follow the contours of the object.
I think, however, I'd have gone with a smaller nib on the eagle's head, neck, and wing crests to get an even lighter tone than the 02 and have sharper contrast to the more heavily shadowed areas of the monument.
I hope you give it a go. 😀
This is great Stephen I love the way you show all the process and your community post are so helpful. Thank you for all you share 👏👏👏
Kind of you to say so here Santone. Much appreciated. 😀
Love the composition from that angle with the wings' shape creating a dark triangle across the eyes/beak
Thanks Andrés. Yes, quite dramatic I thought. I had four angles to choose from. 😀
Line direction is crucial (now you’ve explained it) I often do / did it one direction for most parts of the subject, BUT NOT ANY MORE! THANK YOU Steve.
Great to hear it makes sense. Another tool in your drawing kit bag!
Thank you, Stephen. I really appreciate the time and effort for this video. I'm trying to get better at inking and this is essentially a big hurdle...the organic shapes. Cheers!!! ❤🎉😊
Great to hear. Buildings are more my comfort zone, but it’s important to stretch ourselves and I do liked these imperial eagles they were a great subject for me to use. Have fun with them. I really hope you cross hatch it. 😀
Thank you for this video, you are truly an amazing teacher/artist! I recommended your channel.. hopefully it gets more recognition! 🙌
Thank you so much! That’s very generous of you to say. 😀
Wonderful video. You are very generous sharing your approach and technique rationale. Your channel is a marvelous space for us. Thank you very much.
Thank you. It’s very gratifying to think they are being so helpful, and that so many people around the world are enjoying the common experience of drawing. 😀
Another brilliant video. I've been interested in art for years but have always been too nervous to start, your videos have really helped me come out of my shell and start experimenting. :)
Fantastic Kay. That’s really encouraging for me. Drawing is a learning process, so there’s no pressure. Have fun and all the best. 😀
Maybe my Beginners series (blue and Orange thumbnails) might be helpful. 😀
@@stephentraversart I’ll check them out
This answered my question. Much appreciated!
Excellent Mitch😀
Another great tutorial Steven!
Glad you liked it Khris. 😀
❤Thank you for sharing your experience!!!
Hope it’s helpful for your drawing. 😀
This is so beautiful!❤
That’s very kind. Thanks. 😀
Great teachings 🎉
Thanks Efrain😀
Superb as usual
Thanks. I really like this eagle, I visit it whenever I’m in Vienna, so it was fun to draw it. That tip I give about drawing what you love really paid off for me with this. 😀
Thanks 👍
My pleasure. 😀
Hi Stephen, thank you very much. This is very useful for me.
Excellent Jerome. Encouraging to hear. 😀
Beautiful
Really wonderful!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much!
My pleasure Déa😀
Thank you so much, very well explained!!!!
My pleasure Jorge. 😀
Thank for this instructive lesson regarding the direction of hatching. would in be possible to demonstrate this in a portrait? I struggle with long lines or short lines, crosshatching only in the dark? or in light planes too? value to siggest the form or linework following the form? Sorry for suggesting so much "work"! Best wishes Gerd
Gerd, I’m not sure I have enough experience in portraiture to make a worthwhile lesson. There are no rules for hatching. It’s whatever you think enhances your work. Experiment with hatch lines for form rather than value. I’ve seen it done very effectively. We have to stop being afraid of ruining our drawings and instead play around experimenting to get the information we need. Have fun with it. 😀
I don't see the references in the community tab anymore. Is it possible to get them reposted? Thank you so much, love the content always ❤.
Outstanding! Tanks a million!
My pleasure Bob. Have a go at it yourself. 😀
That's so dope❤
Thanks 😀
Thanks
No, thank you, that is very kind and much appreciated. 😀
Commenting for the algorithm.
The algorithm and I appreciate it Justin. 😀
Couldn't quite hear how long it took - 15 or 50 minutes? Thank you.
50 minutes Kathleen. 😀
Hey, where can I find the images? The RUclips channel community page is empty.
Are you looking in the right place? Others are finding it ok?🤔
Where can I find your community page?
This should do it Lisbeth.

Select Community from the choices along the top. 😀
where can i print your drawing for me to practice cross hatching?
oh, sorry. i get it now.
Sounds like you've sorted it.
Excellent
What pens do you use?
I use Copic Multiliners for the line work, and Copic Sketchmarkers for the tone, using the brush end, not the chisel end. I use Neutral Grey colour for the tone, usually 4-6 tones each drawing. The markers are refillable and the pens can have their ink cartridges and nibs replaced. 😀
@@stephentraversart thanks!!
