#digital cross hatching

[mister-sol]

I wanted to draw them being kinda angsty. And I also wanted to use the cross hatching brushes I downloaded. So this happened.

Timelapse below

Hitting the timelapse button on CSP is always very difficult for me because I become self-conscious. However I wanted to do it this time because I knew this piece would be hard to figure out, since I don't do cross hatching often, and I wanted to be able to look back on what I did right or wrong later (I often forget how I obtained the final result for a piece after I'm done with it).

I think my drawing process is a a little... obsessive? And maybe strange compared to others. I have a pathological problem with perfectionism and it makes drawing (as well as everything else in life) take longer and feel more frustrating than it needs to; I try to be methodical even when it is redundant or completely unnecessary to a piece in an attempt to avoid redoing things later down the line, which is a losing battle, since making art is a very experimental process -- trying out what works and what doesn't until you can let it rest.
