Secrets of Crosshatching

Crosshatching is one of the most demanding yet rewarding of all drawing techniques. It requires a steady hand, patience and lots of practice. It’s much more time-consuming than simple shading, but with its capacity for subtle changes in light and shadow and the pleasure it gives via rhythmic, expressive patterns, more than worth it. Douglas Simonson has refined his crosshatching technique over more than 60 years of drawing, and in this example-filled book he shares his best advice and guidance for the aspiring crosshatcher.
