How to draw tips on shading or rendering with hatching and crosshatching as a part of learning how to draw with pen and ink. I used a Lamy Safari fountain pen.
How to use line variation, as in line weight is my main focus here. How to vary line weight or thickness to convey light and shadow and describe volume.
I used a part of a drawing by Hendrick Goltzius as a reference for pointing out some useful techniques you should practice or at least be aware of when drawing with pen and ink using a fountain pen, dip pen or other instrument.
You can use this as a guide for how to draw a muscular arm and hand with fingers and all. Its also good practice to copy from people who seem to have a good handle on pen and ink or any other drawing medium you want proficiency in.
Happy Drawing :-)
when you create a character so buff even his thumb is buff
And he must have been nervous cuz he has a habit of biting his thumbnails all the way to the nub.
R·1 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Jjba
@@kan50805 every buff character I see I think of Joseph Joestar
I tried doing this. Its way harder than it looks. You make it look easy. LOL
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
: )
I love your method of crosshatching.
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.
+Fiona Tanzer thats a smart way to start out. You'll love it
any chance we could swap brains for about two weeks so I could draw all the shit I've been wanting to draw my whole life? I'll give it back just as I found it, promise.
Lmao good one
But if you had his brain, wouldn't you forget what you wanted to draw for your whole life?
pugesis 🤔
You still wouldnt have the muscular memory to draw so smoothly though...
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.

As always Alphonso you describe everything simply to get a detailed and what looks complex drawing. You are really helping me with studying line work with my art! Thank you :)
MoominBetz :-) I like that I'm helping...hope you'll see much much improvement
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.
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
+Jessica Ly :-) thanks. Glad I could help
Another excellent and well thought out tutorial. I'm always learning something new. I use your book as a daily practice guide. Thanks!
Thanks so much for supporting
I plan to make a comic and this video i put in my list to teach me to know where the muscle tone is. Alphonso-sensei your videos is just the kind of tutorial I'm looking for! My comic is more of a Japanese style manga, BERSERK is the art style i admired and I searched for vids on teaching but most don't explain well especially the do's and don't.
very welcome. Glad I could help : )
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!! :)
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.
🙂🙏
Great explanations with your video tutorials, very clear, articulate, and informative. Makes the video so instructive and easy to understand.
Thanks, glad I could help : )
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 👍
an absolutely fabulous and outstanding tutorial! The way you have presented this and described on how to go about regulating the stroke is right on target. It's perfect, hands down. Pen and Inkers should note this one demo and have this info in their arsenal. Thanks so much Mr. Dunn.
eric rogal Thanks much. Glad its appreciated
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!
***** Glad it helped
I can't stop coming back to this video! Thank you for this demonstration and the inspiration that it gives me!
No worries :-)
i love how you draw hands!!
:-) thanks
You are such a great teacher. I always learn something when I watch your videos. Thank you!
+Sara Quashnie Thanks much :-)
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!
Let's Kick Scoot! no problem :-)
could you do a series on shading muscles, your lessons gave me such a better understanding about shading, it was really confusing until I saw your videos thanks alot and keep up the great work!!
no worries
thanks Alphonso, beautiful drawing, beautiful technique, very helpful advice / instruction….very much appreciated.
Thanks for the class Alphonso,i am 40 but I love to draw, still I find that i have very much to learn. Warm regards from Portugal and keep up the good work.
Diogo Carvalho thank you so much
I've recently started practicing this technique. I'm more practiced in the traditional art of shading. This video was great. Thank you
Thanks a lot man, I've used your videos to learn quite a bit on inking and shading things!
I never really have problems with shadowing before but I have been trying to do clothes since I'm more of an landscape artist and I've been experiencing problems with how to place shadow on clothes. Please do a video on this! I have fellow classmates who also experience this as well!!!!! Stay awesome
Very cool style of cross hatching. Thanks for the tutorial!
Astoundingly beautiful work! Very similar to how printing plates are engraved. In appearance, I mean.
Very thoughtful approach. Thanks
Thank you
A beautiful study of a muscular arm!
I am really interested in furthering my knowledge and experience in pen and ink. This is the first of your videos that I have watched, but I am already hooked and have subscribed.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent!
+Katie Eliot Thanks much for joining in :-)
Someone should make an Asmr video of the sound the fountain pen makes when he draws those lines
***** lol
OMG, I JUST LOOKED UP ASMR BECAUSE OF YOU AND HOLY SHIT THAT WAS WEIRD BUT SO RELAXING AT THE SAME TIME I'M NOT SURE HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS o.O
***** there is someone who does that. Actually, it's his hobby so there are DOZENS of fountain pen ASMR videos on his channel. It's RelaxingASMR.
Gracias Alphonso, he aprendido mucho con tus tutoriales!
I've never known how to crosshatching before. Now I know, that I have to practice a lot. Thank you for this video. It's very helpful. :)
+Laura Taylor Glad it helped :-)
Every time i get stuck in thought of what to draw, I watch one of your videos and get that positive motivation push that I need , thanks.
+ nJavier Melgarejo : ) thats awesome. Glad I can help
I know life is tough and everyone is busy, but I really miss you on UA-cam. Well, I miss your effective teaching skills and talent
I am trying be more regular
It's nice to see a brother in one of these tutorial vids for a change
I was thinking the same thing lol when I found this channel.
Sully The Artist he even has a book :)
what's that supposed to mean?
Folb that he's black. For some reason all black people refer to each other as brothers
HOLLOW NANO Oh. But jeez, does it even matter if he's black or white? For all I care, he has to be a good artist. Which he is.
Although this video is quite old I still want to say: thank you for this video :) it's great! As an amateur artist I"ve watched most of your videos and have learned so much! Thanks for uploading these man!
***** very welcome. Glad youre learning something
Expanding my mind as an artist even though I should know this already.
So sad u stopped.
Don't be embarrassed, but considered his arms to be the most beautiful ever drawn, these inking techniques are of the highest quality.
I am a beginner at drawing and your tutorials have really helped me. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and wisdom.
kim cox I'm glad they help..i hope you keep improving...stay at it :-)
HULK SMASH LIKE BUTTON!
😀
👍
I've been looking to improve my crosshatching and your tutorial helped me get a lot of new ideas. Thanks you!
I am also looking into buying some fountain pens for myself, I've never owned them so I'm curious on which is a good site to buy buy some of these.
wow, the way you explain it got me improve straight away, thanks
Hola Alphonso, muchas gracias por tu tips, realmente eres bueno dibujando, uno siempre aprende cosas nuevas.
Youre very welcome : )
Thank you, you are highly skilled and knowledgeable. Thank you for so generously sharing. I appreciate your talent and guidance.
Very welcome : )
You are an amazing artist💕
Loved the way you moved with that pen, precise and smooth. Btw do you prefer the fountain pen you used in this video or a pilot pen v5? I love the v5 mostly due to the perfect amount of ink it gives out for one to move around smoothly and whatnot, but would love to hear your thoughts on it.
WeresMyWall hmmm, perhaps fountain pen because of the ability to vary line width really, its fun...
Best tip for etching....btw ive been learning this for about 2 weeks now...thos really helps ty
Thanks glad it helps
I am a new fan, love from Philippines! This is great tips. Thanks for sharing!
Saw this to have the Lamy Safari demonstrated, and I'm now convinced that I should buy it (you can get them really cheap on eBay, like 14$ incl shipping with a bit of browsing).
Beautiful drawing, nice to see a professional on youtube!
+MÅNEMANN MÅNEMANN thats a niiiiice price

Amazing pen control. I have that pen and can't do that yet. I think this is my favorite because your drawing like an old master and its nice to see how they did their work and you did an amazing job. Kudo's
Steel Art Thanks much. Its in the style of Hendrick Golztius
I looked up the drawings of Master Golztius and was blown away thank you for letting me know. I love his drawing he did of his crippled left hand so beautiful but does not look burned.
:-)
Thanks man, I was diggin' for some words like yours to sensibilize me thereof things of drawings... the people usually swim in a deep daily stupidity ... Best regards from Misiones!
+Perro Oniriko thanks
Just started watching your videos, seems there's a lot to learn from you. Keep up the good work! :)
Thanks much.
Thank you so much! Thinking of it as sculpting and 3 dimensional really helps!
Really cool video! This reminds me of Da Vinci´s drawings...
+fabroc8 :-) Thanks
THIS IS THE THING I WAS SEARCHING FOR! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :D
Thon chex :-) youre most welcome
i love your video, scanned many inking videos, it's really great, brief and just honest. Thank you *subscribed only on this one.
+Teri Bernardo Thanks much :-)
Amazing! Alphonso you are the best!!!
Octavianus Agrippa thanks much.. hope it helped
You're amazing bro, I am learning so much with you. Thank you very much!
This will greatly augment my Trogdor drawing abilities.
💪
OMG, HOW DO YOU DO THAT? :O Imma try to this next time I'm drawing!!
April Sunshine lol go for it!
Always loved the pen & ink pics in Encyclopedia's & Dictionaries (Y) Great Video Bro (Y)
Thanks
Was this a response to my email? Well i needed this very bad and theres so much info here that i am gonna eat it up and use in the future so THANKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU SO MUCHHHHHHHHHHH for keeping me going and strong :) YOU DA MAN ALPHONSO!!!
Alphonsos DaMan Keep going D! just keep going! :-)
Excellent job with the information and I am learning much. Thank you.
Steve McCracken keep learning :-)
I want to see how to draw a face with this technique :)
You use lighter crosshatch lines and more negative space.
Awesome video as always Mr. Alphonso! I love your videos :)
Thanks much : )
Very informative. Just cracked open a set of dip pens today and not really sure what I'm doing. I may need some different paper because I keep scratching it and getting fibers in the nib.
yea, try using bristol paper and be lighter with the pressure you apply
I've always felt that lines going with the forms (up and down, left to right) describe pattern, texture, or physical attributes. And then lines that describe lighting would go across the forms. I know this is difficult to manage if light is coming from directly above or below, but then again, I don't have to draw this stuff.
64PageSpecial they can go where or however you choose, once consistent
***** Yep...anything that describes the forms with the most attractive interlacing, as you've proven with the rendering on the elbow in this video.
Really educational. Awesome stuff.
Thanks
Awesome tutorial. Thanks!
Let's talk about those hands.
+CJ Hayes lol
great work dude, learned a lot! also the thumbs on the arm remind me of bridgman a little. also your linework is gorgeous, you and that lamy safari were made for each other.
+Mariacristina Romano Thanks so much :-)
Eu faço curso de manga e o meu professor pediu pra eu estudar sobre isso mesmo n entendendo nada ajudou muito na prática
Hello Alphonso, awesome tutorial...how much does the line need to be marked for this type of drawing?
This really helps me to correct my drawing skills! Thank YOU!
+Chellotta glad it helps :-)
Mmm, Like Michelangelo's crosshatching. Awesome!
JUAN PABLO QUIROS ZUÑIGA hmm thanks
I found difficulty in cross hatching I'm using Unipin then I found this tutorial I will give it a try again by tomorrow... Thank you for sharing
P.S. I've learned stippling from your channel too :)
Awesome!
grt wrk dude!!!!!! thanks!!!!! I am an budding manga artist and was kinda facing problem in the process of cross hatching.......and ya..good artwork on dat arm!!!! keep uploading dis kind of helpful vids!!!!^-^
+Mike Starlord thanks. You can count on it
thanks for these videos. Very helpful and inspiring. Keep up the good works!
***** no worries...once they are useful :-)
Excellent, so much to learn from you!
Thanks : )
Could you do video about shadowing using comic style(block some part with full black), please?
omg that music you put while you were drawing SO MUCH BASS and great drawing btw
Thanks...too much bass? Lol
***** its because im using earphones and there is a lot of bass and it sounds amazing
lol
Hatching bahut achha hai bhai
Lamy fountain pens all take the same type of nib. The Extra fine nib is the most expensive about $8 other nibs can be purchased for $2 -$3. Tere is one Lamy model which does not accept the standard Lamy nib.
Excellent demonstration thank you ☺
thanks much :-)
Thanks Alonso
Perfect as always!
Thanks
Прекрасный штрих, отличная техника рисунка. Жаль, коментарий на английском. Отличный рисовальщик.
i had given up on cross hatching... thought it didn't have depth... you changed my mind sir...
Dont give up
Well, it depends how you use it. In my opinion, cross hatching can only take you so far, that's why I like to just use a greyscale, using different amounts of pressure and different pencil hardness', then blending them together to get a smooth look. I don't really like the look of crosshatching even if it's good for shading.
Amazing way of drawing !!..
Thanks, and I loved the music.
: )
To me you're one of the best artists out there. I learned so much from your videos. Thank you
Thanks so much
Ahh man thats sick dude love it by the way I liked this vid👍🏼👍🏼
Pioneerkiller thanks much!!
nice point made at 11:30...the lines should be evenly spaced, not messy. Also I would love to see you start with a medium , diluted ink, then go on to the darker. Thats how the old boys worked back in the 1600 and 1700's. Esp. albrecht durer
👍
amazing. thoughtful. art.
thanks
Excellent. Thanks.
+praaht18 thanks.
Wow, this is amazing!
this was wonderful - thank you - I'd like to see this done on a non muscular arm where the muscles aren't so pronounced ( say a fat arm ) so see where the shading might go
same principle
your videos are so helpful. Thank you
Chris Drury glad they help
Heres a question for ya Alphonso, have you ever done a biomechanical drawing? You know like H.R. Giger style or something? And do man made objects also have a line of balanace or is that only in nature since I dont quite understand that line of balance thingy even after seeing the video on it.
Alphonsos DaMan no, not familiar. Sorry. The line of balance is more obvious in natural forms but the concept of complimentary opposites is found virtually everywhere
