How to improve pencil hatching
Question from Raise
I need some advice on hatching.
I don’t know how to get a gradient tone. How do I show the difference between dark, light, and mid-tone values by varying strokes?
How do I hatch depending on the shape of an object?
Thank you

Artist Starving For Attention and Recognition
Artwork by Felicia Taylor
I’m a 40+ year old artist who is looking for ways to improve and learn how to promote my work. There have been many instances in my life growing up where I had an opportunity to sell my work with those chances becoming lingering disappointments.
I’m hoping with these courses I can gain valuable knowledge as well as a foothold into the market and finally make my first sale.

I love Da Vinci. So I decided to draw a more simplified version of his famous painting. I took this subject for it’s expression and beauty.

I have no social media, so that’s a bit of a disadvantage. Art is the great love of my life.
Portrait Drawing – Why to draw what you know
Portraits from Bill, Drawing Academy student
Somehow your words “draw what you know, not what you see” just didn’t click with me. While doing some practice drawing today, I began to realize that it is not only drawing what you know, but to feel the curves that round the face, the eyes, lids, nose, lips, etc. I have never drawn this way before. I started my old way, and I realized I had to feel the roundness and curves to have them stand out. In the past, by luck, some of my copying of photos did produce many of those curves. However, I now realize that this is a much better way to draw. Sorry it took me so long to understand how to make curves. I will let you know how this drawing turns out.
