NGMI

at least post something impressive

>>3854828
nope, shit opinion mate.
the actual unfun, soulsucking pen shading method? stippling. fuck. stippling.

>he doesn't get into a deep meditative state when crosshatching where time loses its' meaning and all worries fade away, the souls only concern being the next line you put down

yes

Pen and Ink rendering shits on techniques out there, it requires a high technical skill. The old master engravers are godlike. That hand is chicken scratch tho

>>3854828

But crosshatching isn't faster in digital? If anything, crosshatching is easier to do fast with traditional tools.

>>3854955
very rhythmic

>>3854843
you have a big max

>>3854955
are they...))<>(( ?

>>3855058
This, crossshatching is like a habit to me

anyone got a good crosshatching tutorial

>>3857779
>those hatched veins
holy fuckin aesthetic batman

>>3854828
Digitalcucks are just salty that they can't properly crosshatch by hand easily. A fucking ballpoint pen destroys 700 dollar tablets at this.

>>3854828
Crosshatching is the most aesthetic shading technique, change my mind

>>3854843
>make big illustration with multiple characters
>take 30 minutes for a single hand
Cross hatching is retarded

>>3854828
You sound like one of those retards in my class who stipple by bashing their micron on the paper like a baby

if you dont like it you shouldnt be doing it, it will not come out as good as for those that do like it. you will always be better at things that you enjoy. its usefulness it kind of limited too, because it does take time. also, dont do it digital, that just doesnt work, you need the direct feedback that so far is only possible with pen and paper

That dagger is dangerously close to his nuts.

this ones not great. lot of areas that straight up look black and uneven, and the hatching on the face in particular is really wonky and ages her immensely.

>>3858324

how do you know she's not supposed to look aged faggot

>>3858325
because anon, drawings of females should only be neotenous and uncanny, women over the age of 20 don’t exist silly billy

>>3858325
damn you're right im an idiot and that's the best drawing ever

This KILLS the digitalfag.

how do i practice cross hatching exactly? ive always wanted to try it.

>>3858915
>setup still life by grabbing random shit
>start drawing and cross hatching still life
>repeat until drawing looks like still life

Is it even possible to crosshatch digitally?

To be good at crosshatching you have to have nice and steady hand, and a good understanding of light and form. and of course your can cross hatch digitally, it's literally just drawing contour lines on paper, can be done with a simple round brush or any inking brush.

ink rendering will always be godlike

will tracing good hatching artists help me get good muscle memory and hand eye coordination for hatching?

>>3859071
That's not ink, that's an copper engraving

>>3854828
I used to do a ton of cross hatching when I was younger. Somehow, I didn't have internal bleeding afterwards. The worst thing is that some people today tell me I should do it because it looked nice.
I'd prefer to an hero before doing that shit for 10 minutes. Fuck that.
I also think that it usually look ugly and terribly inorganic.

>>3859132
I'd trace contours and do hatching by myself. Tracing every hatch is insane.

>>3859349
Yeah I know Dore's work is engraved, but so are the earlier examples posted. engraving is just a way to mass produce art. The art techniques used to make these illustrations is the same regardless of medium, it's just ink rendering with contour and cross contour lines. That was the piont
