That reminds me when I was in Art School I learned more from other fellow artist that the program itself. It was a great program and amazing teachers but what you get out of watching other artist and sharing the techniques we used, etc, was priceless. Same deal here.👍
Line direction is crucial (now you’ve explained it) I often do / did it one direction for most parts of the subject, BUT NOT ANY MORE! THANK YOU Steve.
Thank you. It’s very gratifying to think they are being so helpful, and that so many people around the world are enjoying the common experience of drawing. 😀
Thank you, Stephen. I really appreciate the time and effort for this video. I'm trying to get better at inking and this is essentially a big hurdle...the organic shapes. Cheers!!! ❤🎉😊
Great to hear. Buildings are more my comfort zone, but it’s important to stretch ourselves and I do liked these imperial eagles they were a great subject for me to use. Have fun with them. I really hope you cross hatch it. 😀
I have always loved the classic illustrations of the 18th and 19th century. Think Winnie the Pooh original illustrations and Hans Christian Andersen books. I love the details drawn with just a pen, but I never knew what the technique was called. Since discovering your channel I can't help but take my pen and draw alongside your videos. Thank you so much!! Much love!
Another brilliant video. I've been interested in art for years but have always been too nervous to start, your videos have really helped me come out of my shell and start experimenting. :)
Basically, follow the contours of the object. I think, however, I'd have gone with a smaller nib on the eagle's head, neck, and wing crests to get an even lighter tone than the 02 and have sharper contrast to the more heavily shadowed areas of the monument.
Thanks. I really like this eagle, I visit it whenever I’m in Vienna, so it was fun to draw it. That tip I give about drawing what you love really paid off for me with this. 😀
Thank for this instructive lesson regarding the direction of hatching. would in be possible to demonstrate this in a portrait? I struggle with long lines or short lines, crosshatching only in the dark? or in light planes too? value to siggest the form or linework following the form? Sorry for suggesting so much "work"! Best wishes Gerd
Gerd, I’m not sure I have enough experience in portraiture to make a worthwhile lesson. There are no rules for hatching. It’s whatever you think enhances your work. Experiment with hatch lines for form rather than value. I’ve seen it done very effectively. We have to stop being afraid of ruining our drawings and instead play around experimenting to get the information we need. Have fun with it. 😀
I use Copic Multiliners for the line work, and Copic Sketchmarkers for the tone, using the brush end, not the chisel end. I use Neutral Grey colour for the tone, usually 4-6 tones each drawing. The markers are refillable and the pens can have their ink cartridges and nibs replaced. 😀
What a great idea, taking a picture of your drawing to practice cross hatching before you ruin the original. Would not have occurred to me to do that.
Anything that makes it easier to experiment and take risks is a great learning process in drawing I think Gail. 😀
Love this idea. Now I can experiment without fear of destroying my line drawing
I did five years of art school and yet I learn more about technique from videos like yours than in any class.
Thank you.
That’s very encouraging for me, so I really appreciate your telling me. This video drawing stretched me a little, so I’m glad you found it helpful. 😀

This sir is genuinely passionate and genuinely love teaching ...
That is correct. You are very astute. 😀
Love the composition from that angle with the wings' shape creating a dark triangle across the eyes/beak
Thanks Andrés. Yes, quite dramatic I thought. I had four angles to choose from. 😀

Great to hear it makes sense. Another tool in your drawing kit bag!
Wow, outstanding demonstration. Thank you so much for sharing.
My pleasure Julio. I hope you have a go cross hatching it. 😀
This is great Stephen I love the way you show all the process and your community post are so helpful. Thank you for all you share 👏👏👏
Kind of you to say so here Santone. Much appreciated. 😀
Wonderful video. You are very generous sharing your approach and technique rationale. Your channel is a marvelous space for us. Thank you very much.

How wonderful to hear. The best drawings are the ones that bring us joy. 😀
Thank you for this video, you are truly an amazing teacher/artist! I recommended your channel.. hopefully it gets more recognition! 🙌

Fantastic Kay. That’s really encouraging for me. Drawing is a learning process, so there’s no pressure. Have fun and all the best. 😀
Maybe my Beginners series (blue and Orange thumbnails) might be helpful. 😀
@@stephentraversart I’ll check them out
Another great tutorial Steven!
Glad you liked it Khris. 😀
This answered my question. Much appreciated!
Excellent Mitch😀
❤Thank you for sharing your experience!!!
Hope it’s helpful for your drawing. 😀
This is so beautiful!❤
That’s very kind. Thanks. 😀

I don't see the references in the community tab anymore. Is it possible to get them reposted? Thank you so much, love the content always ❤.
Hey, where can I find the images? The UA-cam channel community page is empty.
Are you looking in the right place? Others are finding it ok?🤔
Thanks 👍
My pleasure. 😀
Beautiful
Where can I find your community page?
This should do it Lisbeth.

Select Community from the choices along the top. 😀
Couldn't quite hear how long it took - 15 or 50 minutes? Thank you.
50 minutes Kathleen. 😀
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
My pleasure 😀
where can i print your drawing for me to practice cross hatching?
oh, sorry. i get it now.
Sounds like you've sorted it.
Excellent
Commenting for the algorithm.
The algorithm and I appreciate it Justin. 😀
Thanks
No, thank you, that is very kind and much appreciated. 😀
That's so dope❤
Thanks 😀

I use Copic Multiliners for the line work, and Copic Sketchmarkers for the tone, using the brush end, not the chisel end. I use Neutral Grey colour for the tone, usually 4-6 tones each drawing. The markers are refillable and the pens can have their ink cartridges and nibs replaced. 😀
