I've always been cross hatching (using both horizontal and parallel lines), which sometimes gave me incredible results, some of my best works, but also quite often ends up looking weird, and honestly this video really helped me understand why, I always assumed combining both would be the elite strategy to go with and anything else would just be worse, but I seems like I was VERY mistaken, I'm so glad I stumbled across this video cause it definitely shined a light and helped my find the solution to literally my biggest problem recently when it comes to art. Also the fact you decided to leave lighting out of it also helped me realize how you should be placing lines. Definitely subscribing to this brilliant artist.
Inktober skills! That’s exactly what it will be for me :) let’s see if I can use this for the next ones! The video helps me realize my problem more clearly lol. I often do both directions at the same time without thinking enough about what I do. That’s probably why it’s hit or miss for me. And sometimes I combine it with flat (not cross contour) hatching and it can get weird lol. I’ll practice my hatching discipline on the next inktober drawings. That may mean drawing objects instead of scenes. Oh maaan
Well, a scene is just a bunch of objects put together! I find so many problems are halted by thinking about each action you take. At first, that's just overwhelming...daunting, makes the drawing not fun. But as you practice, your subconscious thinks about some of it for you.
@@zack_feldman I agree! What I mean is I really love scenes lol they motivate me. There is always a little story in it. Objects also have this but it’s different. Anyway, the point is if I draw just one object I can focus more on the textures and hatching ^.^ I did the book yesterday but went for blacks because I had a really rough and really big day, so I focused on just making a simpler drawing. Today is better!
Wow.. nice drawing and your lines are so damn parallel to each other and evenly spaced... which is what makes it even better! Thx for sharing.. Practice..Practice I need to tell myself!!
I feel like my hatching is always inconsistent, it's difficult do explaim. I'll try to apply the technique you showed in this video to get better with hatching. Thanks for the video
what an incredible drawing skill without pencil sketch and erasure truly amazing! cheers...🍻🍻
Hope it was helpful!
yes, this was very helpful. Sometimes, just seeing it done while explained helps!
Have a great week!
I agree! What would you like to see next?
@@zack_feldman variation in the lines/contour lines... different quality
@@zack_feldman Anything not move related. (rolls eyes) It was a very long day. A 10 min lease signing ended up over 4 hrs because computers! Grrr...

Thank you so much! I am glad it was helpful. Sometimes, just watching someone else work and talk about it as they do can be huge!
This is something I’m still learning…I appreciate the video. I’ll try implementing some of this in my upcoming drawings.
Awesome! Hope it helps, and let me know if there is anything else...any ink or drawing techniques you would like to see me talk about!

Thanks! Its just practice on those kinds of lines...boring practice of just putting lines close together!
@@zack_feldman Yes.. off to go practice!!

No problem!
Consistency comes from practice, and from just putting things into action.
Your draw very unique 🎉thanks for sharing
Glad you like it, thanks!
Hi Zack, great tutorial, I hope I will be able to use it in my Inktober drawings :-) So far my hatching and cross hatching is all over the place 😅
Thank you! I hope this helps! There is a lot to cover, but I chose to start here! Anything you would like me to cover in the next tutorial video?
How to not overdo it 😂… I find it quite tricky to see the ballance, when there is already too much or too little hatching
Great tutorial! You got one more sub!
Thanks! Hope it was helpful!
