Frightning drawing
Starting in a new direction.
Last year when I started this blog I gave myself the assignment to learn the skills needed to draw the pictures in my mind. Although I’ve been hard at work and indeed learned a lot of skills I have had the nagging feeling that I wasn’t succeeding. I wasn’t satisfied with [...] -

Hatching shapes: Squares
Hatching some squares.
The easiest way to practice hatching is to draw a few lines on a piece of paper and go about it in the same way that children learn to write. But that way turns out to be very boring.
This time I drew a few squares and colored them in with hatching and cross [...] -

Hatching shapes
I’ve found a better way to practice hatching. More fun to do and more fun to look at.

Still hatching
Getting a little bored while practicing the hatching technique.
As important it is to really learn this hatching technique, practicing is about as interesting as watching paint dry.
I started this practice sheet about 2 weeks ago but couldn’t get myself to finish it.
This morning I thought of an other way of practicing (cross) hatching. I could [...] -

Hashing with ink
Still practicing my hashing technique.
The last time I tried to hash with ink I found the line to be rather wobbly. But after trying it again today I found that my technique for hashing pencil also works with ink. You just have to draw at speed.
Not overshooting the mark is still a problem but it [...] -

Drawing short straight lines freehand
Continuing my hashing practice.
A few days ago I found that it is quite difficult to draw straight lines while hashing. Today I filled a grid with only short straight lines and showed some progress.
It’s a lot easier to get the lines straight when you draw them fast. Which results in the new problem that it [...] -

Study: Color hashing 2
Trying to get an even color by hashing.
Usually when I draw with color I find that you get to see a lot of lines. I’ve never been able to spread the color evenly over the paper. But yesterday when I was hashing with gray pencil I found that I could spread the pencil evenly about [...] -

Study: Gray scale hashing 1 and 2
A few drawings to practice hashing.
Just like I expected yesterday I’m starting to get some idea about what it is that I want to accomplish by practicing hashing.
I’ve decided to start out with practicing with gray pencil. For one thing because gray pencils are cheaper than color pencils but mostly because I also want to [...] -

Study: Color hashing 1
02.23.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsPracticing the hashing technique.
The first attempt at hashing. I’m not completely sure what I’m doing so it’s a bit hard to write about it.
The goal is to find a way to combine colors in a way you can see them all. Instead of being content with the situation where the colors get mixed.
I’m not completely [...] -

Study: Golden lines tree
Discovering a new technique.
Cycling home after a rather boring activity I came across this beautiful lit tree. The almost thread like branches caught the sun in a way that had them looking almost as though they where made of gold.
Of course the building in the background wasn’t as beautiful.
I thought for a while how I [...]
