This is one of the more thorough hatching videos I've seen! Something that blows my mind is the guys who can do each hatching line with one fluid motion of the brush, and their control is so fine that they taper perfectly together. That said, I'm also humbled by the patience of people who put more time into tapering each line with a finer pen.
@@guavacupcake Afraid I can't remember any names, but you see it now and then in certain comic artists' styles, particularly ones that seem to be emulating a woodcut/linocut kind of quality, with all kinds of toothy hatching.
I am left-handed too. I would start on the right side of the paper and work my way to the left side of the paper then the doodles should never be covered. Love your work!
Yooooo that tip about rendering a soft edge by (basically) making a “zipper”…. Priceless. I have never seen anyone explain inking that inverted (white line) taper pointing back at the shadow shape. My mind is blown.
Wow how could 30 seconds of your information explain more than me going to school and “learning shading” for three months. I did go to public school but my teacher never really explained the technique. For example I hate cross hatching, but as it turns out I was doing it wrong. You taught me so much thanks
Thanks so much. I love this video. It’s nice to know that im not the only one that doodles/practices with line work. I have pages of doodles with just lines. I find it very meditative as well.
At 9:20, it's probably not the "proper" term, but I'd call that a terminator if I was hard pressed. The actual definition of a terminator is the "line" where the object goes from mostly in the light, to mostly in shadow, aka the "halfway line" around a shaded sphere, but I'm not sure what else I'd refer to it as. Maybe the spot black boundary?
thank you. your tutorials really help and new artist who wants to get better. i watch your videos daily when im struggling. I have no ambition of being famous artist i just love to draw and your tutorials are top notch man so thank you for all knowledge and happiness you gave me!
Mr Marzullo your skills are Awesome & I thank you for sharing these Fantastic techniques because Indeed making comic book style art, cross hatching whatever in this similar medium is bloody exhilarating for me since childhood and current. 👍🏼
@@randomalex5119 Some veteran pros still ink traditionally, because it gives more energy and you're not gonna spend time correcting without reason. It just gives more life to your drawing. The neatest trick is to print your digital penciling in a non-photo color alongside the layout on your paper, and then scan it back to color digitally. You do need access to a good laser-printer, and large-format scanner if you're drawing on 11x17" bristol boards. Otherwise you can use a non-photo blue lead to pencil out and it won't show when scanning in black and white.
Thank you for sharing your artistic journey and inspiring others with your talent. Your video has undoubtedly encouraged countless artists and art enthusiasts to explore their own creative endeavors with renewed enthusiasm.
Might want to try the Kurotake No. 50 Brush pen. Refills with a Platinum Fountain pen converter (I use the Platinum Carbon Ink). Very nice if you are used to a regular brush and ink since it's Sable hair, and you can also get replacement heads if you wear down the brush. It can do a fine hair to broad strokes, but it does take good control. There are 2 less expensive versions of the same brush pen, one with a simpler body (the No. 30 I think?) And another with a Nylon brush head that's not refillable IIRC.
this is fantastic. thanks so much. when i started drawing in pen and ink, we used rapidographs. i liked the real thin line pens and they’d always dry out. :) the pens we have now are so much easier. thanks for the white out pen. i had no idea there were such pens. n.b. i still have all my nibs. i loved those. i took scientific illustration in college and now just doodle. but i learned so much from this vid :) ✒️🖊️〰️🟰🀄️
Hey Robert I bought RAM digital brushes for photoshop using, I am a big fan of hatching and cross hatching in traditional media, but your digital brushes for photoshop is great... I never use procreate! but it is ok for me ... pen and inking it is must dayly practice! thx have great year!
I have a doubt regarding poses...Are heavy poses drawn from imagination or mostly are drawn using references... Also is using references for poses common among comic artist?
It goes both ways. Comic artists/Manga artists use references for different things frequently. Whatever you can't draw, reference until you can. It is beneficial to learn to construct poses from your imagination though it saves time and keep them very gestural. David Finch has a good video on how he approaches poses called "Gesture drawing tips". For me personally, I've had a lot of luck learning poses by deconstructing references into basic shapes and then applying perspective to them and trying to draw them without reference.
Well.... Of you are taking about poses... It can't be done both ways.... Some artists uses 3d models for refrence While Araki(infamous for poses in JoJo's bizzare adventure) uses fashion magazines, music videos, And even Greek status as refrence for poses!!!
really cool stuff!!! ive been trying to apply more hatching in my artwork but im finding that i either dont have enough interesting variations in my piece, or i do too much in the wrong places. basically my inkwork fluctuates between messy/confused and bland/sterile. do you have any advice or recommendations on how you would apply the different styles youve demonstrated in this video? like which you would recommend for portraits and character illustrations and which are better for landscapes or objects? and which you would recommend to represent different values in an illustration versus which you would use to demonstrate depth and texture? sorry if none of this makes sense lol
I liked all your examples I saw a city reflection with your tombo strokes , I saw landscape ,its so werid how line and ink inspires my brian into seeing scifi landscapes or such....do u notice things like that as you doodle...
This is all great, but I’m really bad at applying these tones and lines to actual shapes. I don’t know what direction to go much less keep them consistent. Do you have demonstrations? And I don’t mean some sample sphere. I’m talking about organic shapes that have curves and corners and lighting conditions.
I struggle at cross hatching, it looks so cool and awesome. But it is something, that doesn't come natural to me. So I should do exercises to learn it. Maybe one day :D But your Video showed cool exercises and patterns. So thanks for uploading and sharing your expertise :)
I had in my class a couple of very good artists and they were all lefties. I really am starting to believe that if ur left handed u'll be making awesome drawings 😂😂 sum dark magic shii
I'm working on a goblin/gremlin type creature and I need help with the shading. I haven't really ventured far from pencil and as someone who wants to major in art, that's a problem
What do you do for eye exercises? I'll draw for 8 hours a day sometimes and my eyes take so long to readjust. I'm in a small room and so maybe I should look at the window at something far away for 20 seconds or so, every couple of minutes - but then I realize 3 hours have passed and I haven't looked out the window even once.
realizing you can work on each line instead of just doing one pass with the pen is such a mindblowing discovery for me
my mind has in fact been blown.
This is one of the more thorough hatching videos I've seen! Something that blows my mind is the guys who can do each hatching line with one fluid motion of the brush, and their control is so fine that they taper perfectly together. That said, I'm also humbled by the patience of people who put more time into tapering each line with a finer pen.
Thank you very much and I agree, I am amazed by both techniques. Have a great day and thank you for watching!
Anyone you know who does that? That's so cool

sounds like a good idea
Lefties unite!
I do the same thing except I'm right handed.
Was just about to say that! Joys of being a south paw.
ME TOOOO

As an aspiring comic maker, watching your videos is so helpful and awesome!!!😄

This remember me to alberto breccia drawing style, i love so much his illustrations, especially the stories of H.P LoveCraft
Thanks so much. I love this video. It’s nice to know that im not the only one that doodles/practices with line work. I have pages of doodles with just lines. I find it very meditative as well.
You have a steady hand and a nice collection of pens. Thanks for the video.
i failed my arts class last year bc of hatching. im determined to learn now
Gl, we wish u the best!
good luck, u got this!
You can do it I believe in you💪🏻
Good luck
Go geddem!

long time illustrator and love seeing these all in one place for inspo. thank you!
Both the tool introduction and the technical introduction are helpful. thank you.
4 minutes into the and I already like it. It's like the holy grail of cross hatching
I still don't understand how you only have 170K subscribers, you channel is amazing
That brush pen is trippy never seen sum like that love it
Ooh! I love that brush pen energy effect. Very cool! This video is helpful!
Thank you! Yeah, brush pens are awesome for all sorts of neat effects!
Thanks from france. Havnt draw since I was a child. I took so much pleasure drawing this with your advices.
You're very welcome and happy to share the work!
Estuve buscando este video hace varios meses hoy me apareció de nuevo 🤗 ahora podré terminar mi dibujo.. Gracias
I'm starting to see and understand the more complicated crosshatching rendering techniques now.
this video teaches well
Hell yeah, another left handed artist
I was racking my head over your Darth Maul hood texture , case closed! you saved me months lol thanks a ton!
Just learned you need to use your brush pens or lose them when they dry out unused. Thanks for the tips.
Mr Marzullo your skills are Awesome & I thank you for sharing these Fantastic techniques because Indeed making comic book style art, cross hatching whatever in this similar medium is bloody exhilarating for me since childhood and current. 👍🏼
This is the most impressive-looking hatching I've found on youtube yet. Amazing.
I’m here in the corner thinking if I should make comics digitally or traditionally.
Do both and see what you like
The correct answer is both because art is art and using different mediums can be fun!
You can do both, like lineart on traditional and color digitally
I do a mix of both and still can't decide. Maybe actually mixing both mediums and making a comic with both ( ;-;)
@@randomalex5119 Some veteran pros still ink traditionally, because it gives more energy and you're not gonna spend time correcting without reason. It just gives more life to your drawing.

This is so essential for the mangakas! TY and yes, it's so meditative!
This video is very helpful. I understand the utilization of cross hatching much better
Awesome. Just got a bunch of microns and prismacolors for my b-day and this will actually make me use them for once.
Thank you so much
Very amusing to watch
This man is teaching gold
Thank you!!
Nice tips! I gotta practice inking more! 🖋
It's nice to see a tutorial from a lefty like myself, thank you
Cool drawing technique! I want to try drawing like this too.
Love your videos!!😄😄
I feel like this is the most useful video bIbha e seen on this channel, personally
I have some of those. Good video
great video! loved the explanations of your textures and how and why you used the various pen products.
This is so cool! I’m curious whether you often use dip pens or fountain pens in your work for lineart.
That gave me some great ideas to help with what I've been struggling with! Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your artistic journey and inspiring others with your talent. Your video has undoubtedly encouraged countless artists and art enthusiasts to explore their own creative endeavors with renewed enthusiasm.
This gives very interesting touch! Thank you for sharing.
that brush pen texture is wild, i don't think I could ever draw like that
Thx for the tool list. I got some shopping to do
Hey Robert this video was so valuable to me thankyou your Awsome
Thank you for watching and for commenting! :)
Thx for the tips much needed
Cool, I didn’t know about the white out, thank you!
Wow excelente contenido, muchas gracias profe
very good tips, thank you!

Kuretake #13 brush pen has synthetic bristles, is a fountain pen, and can make lines of decently-varying width. You can get spare cartridges for it.
Thanks, Rob. Some of the techniques are similar to David Finch's cross hatching or rendering techniques.
this is fantastic. thanks so much. when i started drawing in pen and ink, we used rapidographs. i liked the real thin line pens and they’d always dry out. :) the pens we have now are so much easier. thanks for the white out pen. i had no idea there were such pens.

Adorei as dicas👍🏻🌷🇧🇷
Thank you so much I need to do a lot of ink crosshatching for a shoe boot drawing for class
Love this video! Only now I'm very conscious of throwaway plastic pens.
Very interesting possibilities! Need to practice now!
Great work
I am very interested in your videos, keep on working, and I will follow and become your true fan
Very good lessons! Thank you!

Look up Richard Smithson
Well.... Of you are taking about poses...
It can't be done both ways....
Some artists uses 3d models for refrence
While Araki(infamous for poses in JoJo's bizzare adventure) uses fashion magazines, music videos,
And even Greek status as refrence for poses!!!

Incredible man, I've been looking for a video like this for a long time.
really liked the video! I just bough a couple of 0.1 Uni Pin fineliners, do they really run out faster than bigger sizes i wonder
Wow this is impressive technique. amazing my friend..Thanks for your tutorial I learned.
I loved watching this video! Really helpfull
I liked all your examples I saw a city reflection with your tombo strokes , I saw landscape ,its so werid how line and ink inspires my brian into seeing scifi landscapes or such....do u notice things like that as you doodle...

What is a basic set of pens you recommend for a beginner?
I struggle at cross hatching, it looks so cool and awesome. But it is something, that doesn't come natural to me. So I should do exercises to learn it. Maybe one day :D But your Video showed cool exercises and patterns. So thanks for uploading and sharing your expertise :)
You could place a light top camera right to remove the shadow that gets in the way
Thanks for the video. I'm just getting into ink and cross hatching is hard. I'm going to practice these exercises for sure.
I learned to engrave in metal, this total is the same. how to make a hair effect on a human image is there a video about that?
I had in my class a couple of very good artists and they were all lefties. I really am starting to believe that if ur left handed u'll be making awesome drawings 😂😂 sum dark magic shii
This is like watching a magic trick being revealed.
THIS was so helpful! Just when I needed it!
You're brilliant.. thanks 4 doing videos😊
Thanks for Sharing 🙏🙏🙏
Y en el caso de querer sombrear cosas orgánicas....arboles, nubes, etc. ?
Excellent video!
Great work!
Doesn't the white out dry and crumble over time?
Great video! What paper do you use?
thank you
You mentioned your Micron 01 pens go dry fast. How are you storing them?
Thank you.
Hey I watched your videos back in like 2015, hope you're doing well
thanks for info it helps a lot
this. is. amazing....
Amazing! That's so helpfull. thanks to you.
好棒的線條練習
