Hatching?

Hi again!

So lately I have been studying fundamentals ( I am still fairly new ). I figured I would share my resources and how it's going. First off, I have been using the site ctrl+paint by Matt Kohr. Ctrl+ Paint is a super helpful site, and I have learned a lot. Several subjects Matt teaches are: drawing methods, composition, and basic painting. In his videos he also gives out helpful assignments that really help.

Here is something (not really fundamental), some of you probably know already, that Ctrl+Paint taught me, crosshatching!

Crosshatching is a method of quick shading used in line drawings, and adds a great deal of shape to your drawings. Crosshatching can be achieved by drawing (as the name implies) crossing lines.

the tighter together the line the darker it feels. When crosshatching you must also remember to keep in mind the form (or three dimensional shape) of the object, and to rap the lines around it accordingly.

If you want to learn more about crosshatching HERE is a great video on it.

             Thanks for reading!
