Illustration Friday - Hatch


Hatch Happy
Pen and Ink

Just a quick one this week.  Art teacher that I am, I just had to use the art vocabulary version of this week's word.  I have never had the patience to develop precision hatching technique, but sloppy hatcher that I am, I still enjoy using it to develop values and form.  I thought about a composition with a hand drawing another hand, but I decided the simple hatch marks were more effective.  Happy hatching everyone!

    That is some nice hatching - the lines have a lot of character. Thank you for commenting on my blog!

    a hand drawing another hand...
    That would have been Escher-esque... unless you meant in tandem.
    Great hatching!
    Salud!

    Sloppy hatching is good hatching. It let's the artist's personality show through! (Anyway, it's not so sloppy!)

    cheers

    Ooo I like that. Very clever indeed, and I don't see it as so sloppy... you should see my hatching! Great take on the prompt!
