I have to consciously tell myself not to hatch! <br /><br />By the way, one of the most helpful tips I ever learned that I wish I'd learned earlier was that when hatching, you should strive to hatch in the direction of the given surface's curvature. This plus more universal hatching really helps define subtler shapes like faces, something I tested out on Howl, my May 16, 2016 post. <br /><br />Also, rough textures like beards are indeed a great idea to practice on, since they can be more forgiving and free-flowing. And although I only draw in pen for these sketches, it is definitely helpful to start with pencil, iron things out, then ink it.<br /><br />Anyway, hope you give hatching another go some time, and hope to check out some more of your stuff. I see you posted another drawing--looks wonderful!<br /><br />ReuxbenReuxbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756079060745342367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143366957982470642.post-60745893967973198292016-06-29T11:21:38.776-04:002016-06-29T11:21:38.776-04:00I really wanna try hatching.
