Cross-Hatching Ink Drawing

Render subjects as pen-and-ink with clear contours, directional cross-hatching, line-weight variation, raking light; preserve ivory paper whites and subtle tooth; build shadows with dense cross-hatch.

Prompt Content

Subject , rendered as a traditional pen-and-ink drawing. Emphasize clear, confident contour lines and directional cross-hatching that follows form; layered parallel and cross hatches build textured tone, with varied line weight, feathering, and tapered strokes. Matte black ink on warm ivory paper; subtle paper tooth and edge bleed visible. View Composition with a strong focal point and intentional negative space; perspective cues and leading lines guide the eye. Lighting Mood for readable planes and volume, with raking illumination shaping cast shadows. High-detail linework, crisp, print-ready look; balanced contrast with highlights preserved as paper white, midtones built by hatch density, and deepest shadows formed by tight cross-hatch.
