How to Cross Hatch to Create Detail
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Cross Hatching does more than create shadows - we can use it to actually create detail. Watch hatching create much of the detail in this drawing of a Yorkshire cottage at dawn. The line drawing is available on the channel Community Page if you want to have a go at just applying the hatching. And five minutes of real time video of the hatching is at the end if that would be helpful to you.
Sir Stephen please put hashtags to your videos to help your video with the algorithm. So that many newbie and aspiring artists find your videos.
Thanks for the suggestion Juniper. I wasn’t aware this was an option on UA-cam. I’ll look into it😀
@@stephentraversart you can put them into the video description :)
That's one spooky guy on that photo ;'). Love your videos!
I best not tell my wife that!😆
This is really helpful. I would not have known how to layer shadow over tone without this explanation and demonstration. The shadows are really beautiful at the time of day the photo was taken. And I also really like having the real time snippet at the end. As fun as it to see the magic of speeded up drawing, it's a good reminder to see it in real time that I don't have to hurry to make a great drawing!
That’s great Carrie. Have you had a go drawing it yourself?😀
Yay. I feel like this is the video I requested. A new hatching video, and the new format with the real time drawing at the end. There's always something to learn here... especially when you can see it in real time. Thanks for this!
Glad you found it what you wanted. Hope it helped your drawing. 😀
Absolutely lovely stuff. I've really enjoyed watching your videos on hatching. They're helping me understand hatching not just as a way to imply volume but as a much more powerful shading tool than I'd imagined. Most times Im rather careless with using hatching for value.
Your microphone also sounds much nicer and I appreciate how straightforward your lessons are!
i was about to type out a copycat of your post,. Thankfully I read the comments and spotted yours. This channel really is great!
Thanks. Sounds like you’re ready to do some amazing hatching. Yes, I should have bought new mic sooner. It’s made such a difference. 😀
I really appreciate your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.
That’s encouraging of you to say Mark. Thanks, and all the best with your drawing. 😀
What a lovely reference picture and an equally beautiful sketch. Thanks Stephen.
Thanks CC😀
This is so nice. I like the drawing better than the photo.
I don’t know about that, but thanks for the kind thought Abi. 😀
Fabulously done! 👍 Thank you.
Thanks Arpita. I hope you try it yourself. 😀
@@stephentraversart I want to do some tutorials of yours. I love gineliners and ink drawing.
Watching and learning your techniques, really inspires me to draw. Thank you 🙏
Wonderful. What could be better?!😀
Another magnificent and inspirational drawing. Thank you.
That’s very kind of you Emmanuel. Thanks. 😀
Yessssssssssssssssss thank you for going over this. I keep saying if I can master my hatching, I'll be set. It's such a basic concept but man it's difficult to get right.
Keep at it Sol. Critique your efforts to refine your choices and you’ll end up hatching intuitively in a way you really like. All the best. 😀
Hi STA.. Steve blinded me with science. Great lesson,real time shows how complicated it is 😎
No no no, real time shows it is just one considered line after another that anyone could learn to do. 😀
Thank you Stephen. This is very helpful, and inspiring!
Thanks Jerome. I’ve just posted a new video on a cross hatching method for irregular shapes if you’re interested.
Thank You for the great inspiration!
My pleasure Al. Hope you give it a go. 😀
@@stephentraversart I will definitely try, Sir! Practicing after your lessons is a lot of fun
Beautiful work! I really love your style. I was wondering if you could do a video about rocks some time. I've scrolled through your videos and couldn't find one. Would really love to see how you draw rocks.
Thanks. Rocks are not a subject I’ve really drawn much, but let me look into it. 😀
A nice scene of a house and a York Demon - you see these quite often in Yorkshire, feeding on the souls of Lancashiremen. Lucky you didnt try and draw it in your rendering, it would crawl out of the picture after midnight, looking for you...
Hmmmm. Not sure if I’ll tell my wife that. 😆
Thank you very much
My pleasure Anh😀
This has helped me so much! Thank you 🙏🏼
Great to hear Jay. All the best with your drawing. 😀
Thank you for the great tips! I was just about to ask if you had a video dedicated to cross hatching (in another of your videos) when this showed up. Great timing! Have you done any drawing for woodcuts (I am fond of some of the cross hatching techniques used and there seemed to be some method behind it)?
Thanks Scott. Actually I just posted something similar but based just on a tree. I did some lino cuts at school when I was 12, that’s about it. 😀
Excellent. Try doing it. with paint. Thank you
Thanks Guy. With paint? Hmmmm🤔
Thanks!
Thanks Des, really appreciate that kindness. 😀
Really enjoyed this one.👍 What size pen are you using?
Thanks. Yes, I forgot to mention. It’s a 0.3 mm COPIC Multiliner 😀
@@stephentraversart Thanks. I'll give this a ago. Cheers. Andy 🙂
Hey Stephen, watched this a couple days ago and my memory’s not good so sorry if you went over this in the video but: does the hatching flatten as it nears the horizon line?
Say you’re shading a column and the horizon line is at its base. The hatching at the top would start curved but once you’re down to the base should the lines become flatter? If they do is it just a matter of guessing how they flatten or is there a way to estimate the progression?
I’ve just posted a video on hatching with irregular shapes. Perhaps that will answer this Mitch. Let me know. 😀
@@stephentraversart will definitely check it out. Thanks again, Stephen
You can hear peepers around the 7-minute mark
