Best Cross Hatching Tip Ever (WORKS INSTANTLY!)

Step 1 👉 If you draw something on a rounded surface, it curves along with the object. Straight lines make it look flat and 2 dimensional
Step 2 👉 When shading an object that isn't flat, dont shade using straight lines. Follow the curve of the object with your cross hatch lines
Step 3 👉 when cross hatching, your lines should be more spread apart the closer it gets to the light source

I love the Old zach... where he just sketch and do tutorials.

[kailanofficial]

I kinda miss these humble videos before he started memeing and yelling all the time 😂

[breadstick]

Remember the old days when he used to draw and not just customize branded products?

I prefer cross-hatching as well when I draw comic art. I think it looks better. But when I do realistic portraits, I prefer smudging to get the proper tones. Different kinds of art require different techniques.

I'm no pro, but that "Don't" at 0:44 was painful to watch.

[robertgwinn]

Thank you for your clear and functional tutorials. I'm a traditional graphite artist and shade primarily edge to value, blending, gardations of value, etc. Your tutorials on line weight and alternative shading is helping tremendously in my more imaginative drawings. Thank you so much for your time to do these. Your art is amazing btw!!!

If you want realism, smudging is better. If that's not vital, both represent form and lighting perfectly well, and each achieves a different aesthetic result.

I tried to blow away the eraser dust at 2:10 lmao who did it too? 😂

[jeanniereinhardt]

I’ve always been a smudger. Haven’t really experimented with crosshatching before yesterday. I decided to do the Inktober challenge with no real inking experience. I watched this with the hope of learning a little about crosshatching. I was not disappointed. Much of it is common sense, but was great to watch it in practice and listen to your common sense tips. Thanks!

I loved the old Zach, ,
Now he keeps customising
Over and over again!

[realnaste]

Never learned to smudge. Always turned out looking dirty instead of being a shadow.

I used to follow this tutorial back when this was uploaded but cant understand it. Good thing David finch became a consistent youtube and taught me how to actually do it

[snorado]

I have never heard of cross hatching. This is fantastic! I was an art major 20 years ago and started drawing again but damn I feel like a novice now that I have seen your pictures! Please make some videos on how you draw for the novice watchers such as myself. Your basic techniques and the way you see the object you are putting on paper. I see them in shapes as I draw them before I put it down on paper.

[whosthisehwhocares]

At 1:46 it sounds exactly like when you get hit in Minecraft lmao

[meenachiraman]

I was drawing modok..after watching this vid I improved my lines. Thanks Zach

[gamedaily]
