Hello and welcome to my art blog. The second semester of Sketchbook Skool starts tomorrow and I had so much fun with the first klass called Beginings, I decided to start a blog to journal my progress and keep myself on track. so here is one of the sketches I did practicing the technique of "Krosshatch". Tommy Kane was the teacher of the last class of the semester and he did a extra video on Krosshatch technique to help us learn the technique. Not bad for my first attempt.
