In this video I demonstrate an simple exercise you can use to improve your cross-hatching.
I’d like to announce that my newest streaming class called drawing the Head in pen and ink, is now available for purchase on Vimeo.
Please visit my website for more information:

Or go directly to my Vimeo site:

This information packed three and half hour class, covers a big chunk of what you need to know to draw convincing and expressive heads in pen and ink. While drawing the head is a somewhat advance topic, and some experience with head drawing is recommended, this class is designed to view without pre-requisites, and will be useful to artists at all levels.
The class is broken up into 9 chapters, including sections on how to construct different rotations of the head, how to draw without the aid of a pencil underdrawing and how to render facial features. It also include a 1 hour demo, done in real time where I take you through the process from start to finish.

Great video!!! I just realized thanks to this new lighting setup how much you actually look like Rembrandt van Rijn. :)Cheers!

Thank you! It's mostly the lighting, which is very Rembrandt-esque. :)

Thank you. These video come up against the complication of finding models, and this one was willing to do it for free.

As always, this is valuable information. Thank you! Have you ever copied Rembrandt? I suppose the etchings more than his drawings because that’s where his cross hatching really shines. I’m going to try one. Can you recommend a really good paper to do it on? Like printmaking paper perhaps? Or something equivalent to the St Armand paper you mentioned in one of the videos?

You’re welcome, Sharon! I have copied Rembrandt many times, and found it very enlightening. As with the Goya etchings, Canson Mi-tientes Pearl would be a good choice.

Great lesson, I tried doing a copy of the praying hands by durer recently, it's the worst drawing ever, I may try again using these principles. If you get time and only if you think people would be interested, it would be great to see you do a master copy of praying hands and discuss his techniques and what he would have been thinking about as he did it.

Thank you! Durer’s drawings are fantastically difficult to copy, but I’ll put praying hands on my list of tutorials to make.
