Hand Control and Technique Week 1

Hand control seems like it is going to be hard to achieve than I thought. It seems like I am not too bad at shading, keeping the lines the same amount apart, yet I am not too good at keeping them the same length. Things are progressing slowly, as they always do for the first week or two. It seems to take me a bit before I have that sudden lurch forward, I have a horizontal path before the steep part of the learning curve.

I find the different types of hatching very fascinating, especially when applied in mass to one drawing. It is very interesting how everything blends together to provide both texture and shadow.

I am actually behind on this practice I completed today, due to things in my life, hopefully future ones will not be behind. Next week I plan on trying to draw a landscape using different types of lines and hatching that I practiced this week. Then after that I will return to practicing the hatching itself.
