Dude, don't apologize for your speech; your pencil and pens speak a universal language, and I appreciate your explanations.  This video is very helpful.

Sir, your English is far beyond my own understanding of your language; do not let people criticise that in such a way as it is unfounded. It was truly an amazing drawing and your narration worked wonders

Wow! Now you can make money ( literally) 😂

Absolutely brilliant. I FINALLY understand what cross-contour hatching is supposed to be and can start trying to apply it. Love your work!

This genuinely look like something off a banknote, great job!

That’s an amazing depiction of bank note Billie Eilish!!!

excellent. I am an engraver, and that's how it's done.

This is the best tutorial on crosshatching with engraving style hands down. I love the step by step process you have.

The benchmark for how a tutorial should look like! 🎉❤

My buddy knows I'm an artist.  He asked for a portrait of him and wis fiance. I told him I haven't done a portrait in a while but I'll try.  Good grief it is not like riding a bike.  This skill needs to practiced every day.  I'm on attempt number 8 but I've retrained myself and your video has given me inspiration

Billie Eilish as a dollar bill.

Wow.  This was incredible.  The level of detail and patience is just insane.  Amazing.

My shaky hands could never

Excellent narration. Please add Amazon affiliate links to the book and the supplies you use such as paper, pens, pencils, etc.

Thank you. I don't really understand the comments about your English. You speak better than most people.

Beautifully explained and demonstrated.  Awesome art 👏😍👍

The engraving technique is done on a copper plate using a needle, then the design is printed on paper. It's very simple and straightforward.

Although I draw myself, this drawing method reminds me of the kind of illustrations you often see on banknotes—so precise it looks almost machine-printed.
I’ve often used brush pens, but trying portraits with this technique would be fascinating. As you can feel in the finished work, the bold, clear lines are etched onto the paper with an intensity like wire drawn from steel.
If you gave someone a portrait of their face using this method, it would impress far more than a typical pen drawing. (I’d like to give a gift like this myself.)

this is by far one of the most helpful tutorials—simple yet understandable!
