Have you tried not being shit at drawing? It seems to solve a vast majority of art related problems.

Hatching is a god-tier technique, as it can both suggest tone and reinforce your volumes with thousands of cross-contour lines.

One will give you a dozen sons, riding on a horseback straight out of her lap.
The other will give you STDs.
Choose wisely.

You can't trust a woman out of uniform.

I like this mans flat nose

I'm having trouble acknowledging that these are made only with lines. Look at the bridge of her nose, the shade goes from her eye to the tip of the nose even tho there are only single lines from lower eyelid to end of the nose.

Not a great example

>solid / dotted lines
>thicker / thinner lines
>varied spaces between lines

Can you really not "acknowledge" how these can be combined to create varied values?

It's more a disbelief thing. Did you see the area I mentioned? At first I'm thinking these are made with one type of line, but looking closer there is also a difference in line weight, and I'm looking more and more and It doesn't click with me how they get that amount of depth and detail with those lines. Look at the bridge of the nose and the shading, allthough there is hatching in only one direction. How does that happen?

There is a lot going on there:

Basically, hatching is not just laying down lines. It's made for printing.
