Mini-Lesson: A Valuable Cross-Hatching Exercise

In this video I demonstrate an simple exercise you can use to improve your cross-hatching. I’d like to announce that my newest streaming class called drawing the Head in pen and ink, is now available for purchase on Vimeo. Please visit my website for more information: https://Mkompan.squarespace.com/streaming Or go directly to my Vimeo site: https://marckompaneyetsstudio1.vhx.tv/products This information packed three and half hour class, covers a big chunk of what you need to know to draw convincing and expressive heads in pen and ink. While drawing the head is a somewhat advance topic, and some experience with head drawing is recommended, this class is designed to view without pre-requisites, and will be useful to artists at all levels. The class is broken up into 9 chapters, including sections on how to construct different rotations of the head, how to draw without the aid of a pencil underdrawing and how to render facial features. It also include a 1 hour demo, done in real time where I take you through the process from start to finish.
