Wonderful tutorial and the example from 'To Terra' was interesting as well; it's something I always admired to look at, but never got the hang of doing...any form of hatching. My issue lies with when and where to place them to make them look good; when it comes to making black and white comics placing shadows with any technique is weird for me. I want to use hatching sometimes because as I said it's just very interesting and creates a nice effect; do you have any ideas on that?

I think the best ink renderings are planned beforehand: you can't willy-nilly as you go (as I'm learning with doing color illustrations). I would study examples like the To Terra example, and try to copy the strokes, and experiment a little bit, but always have a clear idea of what goes where. For example, when I hatched the guys in the cave, I knew where the light was coming from (the lanterns) and I planned accordingly.

Thanks! I know mapping out the light sources and such are key; it's something I need to get used to

Neat tutorial! Very useful to anyone starting out and feeling daunted by a lack of hand-eye-coordination! A good choice of work from Keiko Takemiya and Hagio Moto too.

Hmm, never considered practicing on ruled paper. I usually just tried to draw a random shape(say for example, a circle) and then trying to hatch while applying it onto something. Might try that too.

I like it, it's a cheap and easy way to gauge your progress.

It does seem like it. Guess I'll do that during my free hours in between classes
