How to Cross Hatch to Create Detail

  • 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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

      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. 😀

    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...

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)?

    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?
