I’ve been drawing in a western comic book style, mainly focusing on poster and cover art, for over 20+ years. I have never felt strong in my inking skills because I just couldn’t get a ‘professional’ look with my finished inked drawings. These videos have taught me so much in an amazingly short amount of time. Thank you so much for doing this series David, I have been a fan of your artwork for as long as I can remember. Much ❤️

In my humble opinion I think it can be better to forge your own style and not compare your work with anyone else's. Someday people will look at your art and say "That's instantly recognizable as a Light Echo and it's fantastic ".

This is the first time I've heard anyone explain 'why.' I literally had this question back in college and my professor told me to just study what others do, nothing about the technique. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr Finch sir

Dave Finch’s technique is awesome. I love his style. Thanks for having him on your channel.

I come back to this video so many times, all those artist here are just incredible, I'm in awe every time I come to this channel

All artists were friends!

David Finch is an extraordinary artist and a masterful teacher!! Thank you 😊

I love Finch in comics! So underrated!

I've watched this video several times and it never ceases to amaze me, how effortless David is with his drawing. His skill level is really insane. Thanks to Proko and David for sharing this!

He is really amazing, good teacher and he didn't mind to share his technique completely ,I always struggled using this cross hatch technique, not any more, nice video

Thank you David Finch AND Proko for this video. Been waiting forever for David Finch to explain his cross-hatching!!!!

David Finch is for sure one of my favorite artists and one of the best comic book artists ever.

Aaah man, three decades I’ve been rendering and ink drawing, almost but never clearing the hurdle, too many times I overworked, lost consistency of form direction, and this genius nails it it one, WOW thank you so much for the knowledge ....simply and perfectly put.🙏🏻

That's amazing... learned in 27 minutes more than in the last half year! Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing your mental process during the creation of theses masterpieces!

I learned more from this than literally all the other videos I’ve watched combined

All of these videos have really helped me improve in countless different ways. Without taking art classes or ever having the opportunity to do so, these videos have been huge in my journey with art. I am very appreciative of every video. Thank you!

Awesome break down of rendering. Love David Finch's process!

Must see lesson for every, I mean EVERY, student in woodcut/engraving studio. Bid THANK YOU to David and Proko as well!

I love this, been struggling to render things with cross hatching.

Thank you for posting, I found this instantly useable and am already happier with my drawings after implementing the hatching towards the light trick he shared here! :)

Outstanding teaching of cross-hatch technique. You have amazing talent David. You are truly, truly talented.

My 6th grade art teacher (back in 1962-'63) made learning crosshatching sound like some mysterious rite of passage that we would only get to as more advanced artists. Over the years I just taught myself as I never had anyone actually teach me outright.

Thanx Proko. For having david finch do a tutorial! Very useful!😊👍

This is definitely my favorite rendering technique. Reminds me of being fascinated by comic illustrations as a kid. I was born in the 80's lol

One of the best tutorials on how to advance your cross hatching I’ve seen. It can be challenging to find advice that covers how to actually create different quality lines and what to bear in mind in relation to direction and type of line to use. Having a base of shading in place was really useful. I’m keen to develop a more representative (?figurative) style of drawing rather than totally realistic yet still keep form and shape. Thank you so much.

This guy is an amazing fucking teacher. Actual comprehensive steps that break down the most intimidating aspect of that stunning style of comic book everyone wants to make. This is rare

This is the best crosshatching lesson I've seen. Bravo!

Decided to become a comic book artist. Wanted to be a manga artist but the diversity and realism of comics is just amazing. Here's to hoping 2021 is my year to finally push my career forward and escape the horrors of general labor. Fingers crossed 🤞

The tip on "form shadow" vs. "cast shadow" was very very helpful for me. I have been doing what you're talking about. Thank you. I think it's around 9:30 if anyone is wondering what I'm talking about.

Easily the best crosshatching video i have ever seen in my entire life. THANK YOU

this was the one I was looking forward to the most, and it did not disappoint! I needed these tips. Definitely checking out this guy's channel.

NIce clear demonstration, good explanation of underlying principles

I think David is the best artist currently working in comics because of his versatility and ability to draw *_everything_* brilliantly and excitingly. And although they may not be connected thru any living continuity, I think his rendering style is a worthy successor to the incredible inking of Rudy Nebres. Thanks, David!

This helped me understand hatching on another level. Thank you

Loved the demo! Always thought cross hatching had to be, well, crossed! But this type of rendering to soften things up really adds to the overall look.

You legit made a random shape look good.... I wish I had your talent!

I always learn something watching David Finch tutorials. I’m pretty sure I render out of cast shadows sometimes, but now I’ll be more aware of it and be able to avoid doing it.

This was definitely a treat. It's nice to see how to render, especially when other processes proceed rendering, such as coloring or watercolor. I have the problem of turning everything into what looks like a lithograph. I like working in detail like Alphonso Dunn, who is a great pen and ink artist, but seeing a tasteful, succinct method of rendering is great. Knowing when less is more...
