How to draw tips on shading or rendering with hatching and crosshatching as a part of learning how to draw with pen and ink. I used a Lamy Safari fountain pen.
How to use line variation, as in line weight is my main focus here. How to vary line weight or thickness to convey light and shadow and describe volume.
I used a part of a drawing by Hendrick Goltzius as a reference for pointing out some useful techniques you should practice or at least be aware of when drawing with pen and ink using a fountain pen, dip pen or other instrument.
You can use this as a guide for how to draw a muscular arm and hand with fingers and all. Its also good practice to copy from people who seem to have a good handle on pen and ink or any other drawing medium you want proficiency in.
Happy Drawing :-)

when you create a character so buff even his thumb is buff

@pugesis 6 жыл бұрын

Jonathas Ferreira Actually, this is a common misconception. 'Muscle memory' is not learning that occurs in the muscles, rather it is synonymous with motor learning and procedural memory, both of which are entirely controlled within the brain. read more: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_memory

3 years after upload i am have just found this video and its really clear and simple and i never knew something so simple as crosshatching could add so much depth and detail to a drawing, only been drawing for around a week and because of channels like these i have such an understanding of the body its great, like everyone says put in the time and you get it, 2 to 3 hours every night and i already feel good about drawing, tnx for the video man if your reading this.

Dear dude.. I don't know HOW I never came across to your channel or a single video so far :P but take it as a compliment because I started seeing your videos after I got interested in Leonardo Da Vinci's style for shading and finding shapes.. I think I've been drawing since I was like 3 or less, then went to art school with the SOLE PURPOSE of finding the instructions to become good at drawing and painting things, people, animals, places and everything else realistically but never found that knowledge. Wish I had internet back then and people like you to teach art lovers. So a huge Thank You for posting these.. they're turning out to be a great help!! :)

I took my time with hatching and made a nice little landscape. I don't have a lot of drawing experience so it's hard to understand how to lay down lines without muddling up the drawing. Your explanations are helpful 👍

When I first saw your S line it was a realization of something dynamic. This video gives it's practical application and brings new life to something that might be very corny and basic in crosshatching application, like what I'm doing now. It creates connection with great subtlety. The power of this can't be underestimated. Thanks again Big Al.

I can't tell you how much this has helped me. I'm still learning, and my shading has been sloppy and unconvincing. Watching this I can now see it's because my hatching was added arbitrarily without any thought to the lines following the contours. Thank you so much for this!
