Steel Art haha...try doing it slowly and envision the lines before you draw them

this reminds me of Da Vinci's sketches .. the curly hatchings really convey the form so elegantly .. love it

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

I love your method of crosshatching.

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.

thanks Alphonso, beautiful drawing, beautiful technique, very helpful advice / instruction….very much appreciated.

Thank you so much. I looked at a lot of drawings and dont really understand how the shading works but you just explained perfectly! :D

Thanks for your patient presentation - I learned a lot. I've never done cross hatching but admire it and love the purity of ink drawing and painting. I'm inspired to begin, most likely doing simple geometric forms to begin with. It looks like a very satisfying form of art.

Thanks a lot man, I've used your videos to learn quite a bit on inking and shading things!

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!! :)

Gracias Alphonso, he aprendido mucho con tus tutoriales!

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 👍

Just the type of instruction I was looking for - a more or less theory of crosshatching. I look forward to practicing this now. Thanks, Alphonso!

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!
