for me my eye gets pretty stuck on squares in crosshatching - I think you could argue that 90 degree cross hatching does follow form but it also constantly arrests the flow of the eye over the form in my opinion...or I guess in my experience would be a better thing to say - making the hatch lines anywhere closer to parallel let’s our eye flow over the form and the lines become more descriptive of the form instead of a graphic element applied to the form.....could be wrong of course - it really does look good!

This is my first post in quite awhile. I am trying to make a picture book dummy a goal of mine for this year and I realized pretty quickly that Im quite rusty. I haven't worked in 2D for some time bc my work is all 3D, so I'm trying to take it slow. To start off I thought I'd do studies from artists I admire while get my principles down.
Original work is by Dax Gordine. I decided to take it further by adding inking and color. I feel like I'm having troubles with my color choices though.
