Simple Hatching

This level will teach you how to shade using the simple hatching technique. In the process you will also start learning about light theory and how light dictates where the shadows form on an object and where shadows are casted from an object. You will learn the techniques necessary to work with the quill point dip pen and how to guide its tines to create excellent simple hatched shading lines. Finally then you will apply the hatched lines to your classic cartoon sketch according to where the chosen light source requires them to be.

Master Oamie’s Thoughts

Funny how simply complicated simple hatching can be to comprehend. Taper those hatchy marks! The habit of speed is key.

Triangulation

You will begin to learn the cantrips of classical drawing and how that differs from romantic drawing.
Classical drawing emphasis maths role in art and how geometry can significantly improve an artists ability to create more accurate drawings.Through a series of exercise sheets you will learn how to simplify your subject matter into simple geometrical shapes. You will learn a special technique to magically transform rectangles and squares to circles and ovals. You will also learn how to turn your pencil into a magical measuring wand. Using the basic techniques of classical drawing, you will then reproduce an image of your choosing, as accurately as possible.

Master Oamie’s Thoughts

Drawing requires a lot accuracy, geometry and math. Learn your angles and degrees and you’ll get way more precise. Ever wonder why artist lift their pencils up with an extended arm, then squint with one eye?

Cross Hatching

You will now study the more advanced ink shading technique referred to as cross hatching. Cross hatching is a shading technique using two or more layers of hatching at differing-angles to create a mesh-like pattern. Multiple layers in varying directions can be used to create textures and darker values. Master Omar’s favorite cross hatcher was the incredible Albrecht Durer.

Master Oamie’s Thoughts

Criss cross is gonna make you… hatch! hatch! Try to get your cross hatches to bend with the shape of the object to give it more volume.
