00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,700
Hello guys! Welcome back to my channel

2
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,100
and for this video, I'm gonna show you how 
I render my works

3
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,700
with hatching techniques

4
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,000
and how I pair it with "block inking"

5
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:31,700
Basically hatching is a technique used to 
add

6
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,800
gradients and depth in the form of texture

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,700
I use two types of hatching

8
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:40,500
it's called: the Cross Hatching

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,900
and the Parallel Hatching

10
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:44,100
it is a GREAT way to

11
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:47,100
grade down from a block of ink

12
00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:49,700
here's an example:

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,100
Imagine you have a sphere, rendered in monochrome

14
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:54,400
like this one

15
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:59,700
but smooth gradients from dark to light isn't 
your art  style

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,300
and you prefer the more "edgy" comic style 
renders,

17
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:06,200
the way comic artists do it

18
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,500
is by using the hatching technique.

19
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:14,900
Parallel Hatching which are lines drawn side-by-side 
each other,

20
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,700
while Cross Hatching are lines drawn in an 
opposite angle

21
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:23,300
or in an opposite direction.

22
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,200
The way it works is

23
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:32,600
the more lines, or in this case, "hatches" 
you put in

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,300
the more it will darken. And vice versa:

25
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,000
the lesser the hatches, the lighter it will 
look.

26
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:43,700
Most of the comic artists use block inking

27
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:47,100
to add more contrast to the gradient.

28
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:52,400
One tip to make it even more smoother

29
00:01:52,700 --> 00:01:56,200
is to increase the spaces in between the 
lines

30
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:58,300
as they go further along

31
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,700
while making the lines smaller.

32
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:15,800
My second tip is to follow the form of your 
basic shape

33
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:16,900
so...

34
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,700
if you have a circle and wanted to make it 
look like a sphere

35
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:23,800
you'll have to curve the hatches so it'll 
add

36
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:27,100
extra information about the form of the figure.

37
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:43,500
as you can see here

38
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,400
this part suggests that it has volume

39
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,400
and its shape is like this :)

40
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:52,700
while the lower part looks flat :(

41
00:03:49,400 --> 00:04:07,900
*take note of how I render them blobs

42
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,200
My third tip is to draw your base hatches 
with "roots"

43
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:42,500
what do I mean by that?

44
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:44,400
It's something like this:

45
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:46,800
make the base ends heavier

46
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:49,400
like how a strand of hair will look like

47
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:52,500
according to that one shampoo commercial

48
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,000
just make sure that

49
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,900
you will put the roots on the side

50
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,500
where the thick lines are supposed to be

51
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,900
because remember that we are using hatches 
to grade.

52
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,900
This will also increase the depth of the 
lines

53
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:13,600
and add more contrast when you can't block 
it in.

54
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,200
You don't need to make the hatches, cross 
all the time

55
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:20,700
it will definitely be up to your art style--

56
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:22,000
BUT

57
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:24,200
remember that the more lines you put in

58
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:26,900
the heavier and darker it will look like

59
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:29,000
so be careful [with it].

60
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,200
Here are some examples of how I use the technique.

61
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:42,600
For this, I'm gonna render it in pencil, 
in pen,

62
00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:45,300
and in a regular ballpoint pen

63
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,900
to let you know that you don't need fancy 
art materials

64
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,400
for you to make quality artworks,

65
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,000
The best tool is the one you have in your 
pencil case.

66
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:12,100
Notice that I used cross hatching on the 
eyebrows

67
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,000
because I want to capture the strands of 
hair

68
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:20,600
and mainly because eyebrows should be dark.

69
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:24,600
And as I've said,the more hatches you put 
in--

70
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:27,400
the darker it will appear.

71
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:34,000
We want to keep particular details of the 
face

72
00:06:34,100 --> 00:06:36,200
to be rendered lightly as possible

73
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:40,100
unless, you're going for a dramatic effect 
where the cast shadow

74
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,200
is very prominent to give a vibe of

75
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,800
mystery, anger,or revenge

76
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,700
then in those cases you may want to use block 
inking

77
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,400
and have that crisp edges that will define 
specific features.

78
00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:04,600
Now let's move on to using the hatching technique

79
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,000
to render a mascular form.

80
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:10,700
I will be rendering an arm muscle particularly

81
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,600
since it has a lot of shapes in varying size

82
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:17,300
and I always find it fun to render.

83
00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:28,500
Remember the blob that we are rendering a 
tad earlier?

84
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:33,200
You can use the same logic of rendering in 
this.

85
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,200
If you notice, I block in those parts where

86
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:00,600
I know the hard shadows will be

87
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:04,100
and then feathered it out with parallel hatching

88
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,600
to help the viewer's eyes to ease in.

89
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:08,400
Ease out...?

90
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:09,700
Ease in.

91
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,200
(ease out...?)

92
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:41,300
And for the last example, let's render a 
tree.

93
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,000
Hatching isn't only good for rendering muscles 
and figures,

94
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:48,500
but it is also good for rendering backgrounds.

95
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:55,200
In here I am just hatching in following the 
form of the tree

96
00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:57,000
but randomly.

97
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:05,200
You'll see that there's nothing special with 
what I'm doing,

98
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:07,400
everyone can do this basically!

99
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,900
As you can see, you may also render it this 
way.

100
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,100
The simpler the hatches is, the softer it 
will seem.

101
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:45,200
It's break from my usual content but I am 
brewing something really awesome for you 
guys

I hope you learned something from me.

113
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:24,800
Again, this is kimkimkim

114
00:11:24,900 --> 00:11:27,200
pick up your pencils and get better at your 
art

115
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:29,100
one drawing at a time.

116
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:30,000
PEACE!
