How to Cross Hatch to Create Detail

Фильм және анимация

Cross Hatching does more than create shadows - we can use it to actually create detail. Watch hatching create much of the detail in this drawing of a Yorkshire cottage at dawn. The line drawing is available on the channel Community Page if you want to have a go at just applying the hatching. And five minutes of real time video of the hatching is at the end if that would be helpful to you.

    This is really helpful. I would not have known how to layer shadow over tone without this explanation and demonstration. The shadows are really beautiful at the time of day the photo was taken. And I also really like having the real time snippet at the end. As fun as it to see the magic of speeded up drawing, it's a good reminder to see it in real time that I don't have to hurry to make a great drawing!

    Absolutely lovely stuff. I've really enjoyed watching your videos on hatching. They're helping me understand hatching not just as a way to imply volume but as a much more powerful shading tool than I'd imagined. Most times Im rather careless with using hatching for value. Your microphone also sounds much nicer and I appreciate how straightforward your lessons are!

    Hey Stephen, watched this a couple days ago and my memory’s not good so sorry if you went over this in the video but: does the hatching flatten as it nears the horizon line? Say you’re shading a column and the horizon line is at its base. The hatching at the top would start curved but once you’re down to the base should the lines become flatter? If they do is it just a matter of guessing how they flatten or is there a way to estimate the progression?
