• Many people have asked me to show how to cross hatch. It’s a skill you have to work at an be prepared t make lots of mistakes!

    Basically it is using pen and ink to render tonal values. one layer of lines will give a an effect of grey, but when you cross hatch over the first set of lines with a second set, drawn at an angle to the first you make the effect of darkening the shade of grey in the area.

    when you keep crossing at different angles the are becomes darker and darker until it is almost completely filled in.

  • what’s your favourite milkshake flavour – Strawberry? Chocolate? Vanilla? Roast Beef? While ou think about that one, why not draw the cup that’s going to have your milkshake in?

  • That Gangnam style is a very catchy tune! I thought you might like to see how I would draw Psy in one of his crazy suits doing the Horse riding pose. I had a challenge from @juanPabloo5 to draw a skeleton doing the? gangnam style dance – what do you think? give a like if you think that wouldbe fun as I’ve been meaning to draw a skeleton for ages 🙂
