    I think we would love to see you build one of these from the ground up, starting from the basic pencil construction, however many videos it takes.

      He did an exclusive video for kickstarter backers where he shows his starting process..light,simple pencil underdrawing which he erases before going to ballpoint pen.

    watching this has given me a little more direction with cross hatching. something i picked up, some artists use a variety of pens on one rendering. for me i seem to prefer the bic being used here, and also zebra f series pens. on the zebra, it can be useful for easily producing the lighter tones as it is designed for Japanese writing and produces thinner lines. it can be frustrating though if you want bold dark tones as you'll have to bare down harder. currently I've been sticking to bic for whole rendering but it tends to need more frequent cleaning as it globs a tad more.

      that means that your crosshatching lines aren't straight enough they must aligned im a way one to the other and also son of them can end up shorter than the others
