Summary
This video demonstrates the techniques of hatching and cross-hatching in drawing to build up tone, starting with a 2H pencil and then showing the difference when using a softer 2B pencil for darker tones.
Highlights
Applying Hatching to a Pot Sketch00:00:28
The techniques are then applied to a simple sketch of a pot, using the same hatching method on different edges of the drawing.
Introduction to Hatching00:00:00
The video begins by demonstrating hatching using a 2H Academy sketching pencil, creating a series of downward lines.
Cross-Hatching Technique00:00:10
The next step is cross-hatching, where lines are drawn in the exact opposite direction. This method builds up tone, allowing for a range from very light to dark.
Varying Tone with Different Pencils00:00:46
The video illustrates how switching from a 2H pencil to a softer 2B pencil dramatically darkens the tone when hatching downwards, showcasing the impact of pencil lead hardness.
