Interesting to see the cross hatching method

[@janroach1852]

No measuring is allowed in this method. It is all visual, angles so that you can train your eye.

Tanner! I really enjoyed your video😁 I was looking at this book and chanced on your channel when I was looking for reviews of it. What a well organized demonstration of the process. Thank you! Btw I did go ahead and buy the book😁

Drawing when there are contrast on the subject maybe fine but without understand anatomy of the head is a hit and miss when there are less contrast. I study sculpture decades ago, it helped me a lot to draw especially when there are so little details on the chin with a young lady. Thank you for the video btw.

Your vlogs are always very organized. I was surprised to hear you use B -> 2H pencils as typically people move from harder to softer pencils. I hope you do something showing how you integrate the 2H into your process. In any case, thanks for doing this presentation.

My pleasure! I use the 2h in the later stages of the process to render subtle transitions in the halftones. I will be demonstrating this on an upcoming live event on my patreon.

Irgend was stimmt nicht so bei der Kopie, Schatierung i Hals, Stirne auch der Neigungswinkel des Kopfes...... wenn man eine solche Abzeichnung präsentiert, dann sucht der kritische Betrachter, die Haare in der Suppe.... aber das Ergebnis bei der Fixierung sieht etwa fertiger..... schade ein paar Sekunden dem Betrachter schenken, um der Arbeit besser gerecht zu werden!!! Dennoch Gracias y hasta la vista!!

[@tannersteedart]

Ich mõchte kritische Betrachter! Man must die Haare in Der suppe finden. Es könnte der Kamarawinkel auch sein... immer schwer mit Farben auch. Danke fürs zuschauen!

@@tannersteedart Honig ums Maul schmieren, behagt mir nicht. Ich denke, Sie wissen was Sie leisten können Hut ab. Jeder von uns braucht seinen Kritischen Betrachter, ein Sherlock Holmes, den unseren Totenwinkel aufdeckt... Viele Grüße aus Deutschland & hasta la vista!! Ps. Eine Bitte habe ich, das Ergebnis schön und richtig zeigen, ich persönlich möchte es wertschätzen.. Bye.
