This was a mistakeI want to make mistakes with you
To do things we ought not to do
Because right now, we want to
Because I know you want me, too
Want me to
Give you the push
That will send us tumbling down
From propriety.

Yeah, I want to let life get a little crazy
A little messy
Yeah, I must confess I
Find my inhibitions getting hazy
Find I can't recall
Why we don't give in a do what feels good
Why we worry over doing what we should
Instead of what comes naturally

Because what's the point of wanting something
So bad it hurts
If you don't take it how you can?

AlrightI took a risk today
Of a kind that's not my way
Put my heart out on display
And I'm happy I can say that it rather made my day
When things went not so bad at all
Yeah, I think I'll be OK

Life is how I like right now
Simple but challenging,
Stable in its intensity
And even if I don't know how
The future will play out right now
Yeah, I think that that's alright

Yeah, I think I'll be OK

My dad likes boats, so I am drawing him one. Hurp durp

It's not done yet

Awesome cross- hatching..
The scene looks fun :>

~Deniem Jan 7, 2013

Thanks

I've spent a lot of hours in classes and on subways over the years just filling pages with crosshatching. Also, trying to draw perfect circles and squares and hexagons. Fast life drawings are not my thing so much, but it's pretty easy to just pick up and go on practice like that

I am actually deathly afraid of being on small boats in open waters (large boats or small lakes/rivers are ok!). My dad taught himself to sail when I was pretty young, and I did not enjoy being part of the experience, haha. But he still loves it

You are welcome. How do you keep it neat though? Like they are all quite parallel to each other.
Do you do the lines slowly?

That is awesome. I have never been on small boats actually.
Just a ferryboat if at all. I like it but I get seasick so easily.
Or motion-sick D:

~Deniem Jan 12, 2013

There are a few good tricks to nice, neat crosshatching that I have found. The most important is the sort of motion you use with your hand: for this, I draw from the elbow/shoulder and move my wrist very little (kind of like the motion you would use to scrub something that was well stuck on to a counter or pan or something, haha, but a bit more gentle of course). Also, it is good to work fast, especially over large areas (for some hatching, like the portions of this piece that come right up to the boat, I carefully pick the start of the line each time. That's only for detail work that needs a smooth contour, though, generally I just sort of eyeball it as I go and then fill in gaps later). Move your hand in long, fluid motions without gripping the pen too tightly, or it will waver and you will get irregular lines. Make sure your hand is already moving at least somewhat when you touch the pen to paper, and still moving in the same direction as you lift the pen off (this will keep you from having little turns or dots of ink at the start/end of each line). Also, it is generally better to draw lines in only one direction at a time (pushing or pulling the pen, doesn't matter), otherwise it is much more difficult to be precise/parallel, and your lines will often have a little loop at each end. Do multiple layers of hatching at each angle you're using, it will tend to mask/drown out any errant lines.

Hope this helps

Ohhh! I think this makes sense.
I somewhat tried it out a bit and it works much better.
Thanks a lot!
