I usually combine regular Hatching with Crosshatching. Luciano Bove is a master at this.

[@howtodrawcars.]

As mentioned, this is the current trend. I have seen some drawings where it is used very effectively and others where you cannot see the design through all the lines. The most important thing is to find a technique that works for you. Use one that shows off your ideas in the clearest and most passionate way.

@@howtodrawcars. Thanks for the advice.

[@howtodrawcars.]

You're welcome. Let me know what subjects you'd like to see in future videos.

Amazing, I prefer to use all the techniques at once. 'Merge all'

[@howtodrawcars.]

More power to you if you can get that to work.

Have you ever tried a brush pen instead of two different thicknesses? I like brush pens for drawing, but I haven't tried it for sketching cars.

[@howtodrawcars.]

Yes I have done some car sketches with a brush pen and they can be very effective. That was the whole point of the video - to get you to start thinking how to develop or apply new techniques to drawing cars. It's great that your thinking exactly that. The reason I choose these 4 techniques is there are a lot of subscribers and viewers in places where there are only pencils or pens. They don't have a lot of access to other art materials. If you're someone who does have access, try a bunch of different mediums and see what happens. Thanks for the question.

@@howtodrawcars. Thank YOU for the answer and the great video :)

[@howtodrawcars.]

@@miklospinter You're welcome. We're producing a new video today for a new series called "How to Become a Car Designer". I'm not sure if there is anything else on YT like this.

7:12 Did you smudge the pen in the middle?

[@howtodrawcars.]

Yes. The problem is I do not move or spin the drawings in the videos like I would do in real life. Spinning the paper is very distracting in a video and makes it hard for the viewer to follow what I am doing. Because of this, my hand kept landing in the spot on the page where the ink was building up. Ink happens!
