Thanks a lot. Very useful. You made my day 😊. I can't decide what I like best. The simplicity of the second and third ones or the more elaborated feeling that the two last ones achieve...Perhaps the third one is my favourite? I don't really know.
I would be happy to! Do you mean using the marks as a shadow, or do you mean utilizing the texture of the object for the shading itself...like the overlapping pieces of scales or a pinecone to create the shading?
@@zack_feldman Using the texture itself. For example, drawing bark on a tree, or stone texture, or fur. The entire subject is textured - so how do you show the shadows and form without just using a basic hatching over the texture.
This was great thank you Zack! I struggle with shading rocks and mountains with hatching/cross hatching. Would be awesome if you could do a video on this 😁
Mostly because it is such a different hue than the rest of my drawings, and thus, sticks out. Its far easier for me to notice where my sketching lines are and how they diverge from the ink that I put over the top. Also, red is just fun for me, and I enjoy it. I often use regular pencils as well, but the red is simply more enjoyable, so I use it a lot for my under layer of sketching.
WOW!! The hatching process is really amazing. Did not think of it that way.
This is brilliant!!
Hope it was helpful for you!
You’ve nailed it-bravo!

Glad you enjoyed it so much! I think I might have overdone it with the final one, so I'm there with you, unsure which I like most!
Are you going to cover how to use a texture pattern to create shadow? As opposed to hatching over the texture pattern.
I would be happy to!

@@RoryChronicles Ah, gotcha! That makes sense. Its easy to slap the hatching on, but I rarely do, as it looks messy most of the time it seems.
@@zack_feldman Messy, and frequently disrupts the texture itself making things unclear.

Great! Yeah, I get that. I'll add it to the list!
Why do you sketch with a red pencil?

Thanks, I thought it may have been less obvious than grey lead.
