No just a quick sketch i saw online of Thomas Edison the perfecter of the light bulb! (not creator, someone else did, i don`t know who) and practicing my crosshatching.
You definitely have to work in steps, and plan out highlights to shadows, because each layer of cross hatch you add should be uniform and consistent across your image, as well as quality of line, and length.
it`s fascinating the amount of thought goes into a certain style.
You need to maintain a consistent set of rules to stick to, otherwise the drawing will look flawed...
it`s almost computer like, in fact it pretty much is. There`s tons of computer techniques (like you see in photoshop) that can mimic artist techniques. Thought I don`t think we`re there just yet in perfecting it.
To me from the animated films I`ve seen (SUPER Street Fighter IV) for example uses `pencil`line filters, that still seem too perfect to be considered organic.
I really dig the watercolor simulations that have been applied lately though. In the video game Okami it`s another example of this...
Hopefully in our short film that we`re making this year we can try something that can loosen up some of this computerized automated look.
Maybe We`ll be able to improve on the computer 'organic' technique.
