First Tutorial, and I tried to keep it basic and simple. It is geared towards beginners and is very laid-back and sketchy.

*Hatching is a very basic art technique. It's used in traditional inkworks as well as comics, foreign and local. The "preset square hatching" technique, it is found in Japanese How to Draw Manga: Pen & Tone Techniques by Ryo Toudo and is ALSO featured extensively in the American artist Gary Simmons's The Technical Pen. Look it up if you'd like to learn more, as both are great resources.

This pattern is often sold as a screen tone and is included in Computones, but you can mimic the effect yourself, getting more control over the placement.

Enjoy!

I'm so glad it was of use to you, and thanks for commenting. If you're a lover of hatching, keep at an eye out for the book The Technical Pen by Gary Simmons. It may be particularly up your alley! :heart:

I heard Dave Kellett talking about that on Webcomics Weekly. It's been in my Amazon shopping cart, maybe it's time to finally get that thing!
