Cross-Hatching Drawings by Igor Lukyanov: " Cross-hatching is a rather rare drawing technique nowadays. However this is a well-known style due to works of such artists as Albrecht Dürer, Gustave Doré, John Tenniel, Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci. Igor Lukyanov is a Ukrainian artist who tries to follow the cross-hatching traditions of those artists in his portraits and illustrations. You can see more his cross-hatching works on his personal blog. Cross-hatching drawings by Igor Lukyanov Advertise with Design You Trust! - DYT on Twitter - Facebook"

First featured here, Seattle based artist Olivia Knapp creates cross-hatched pen and ink drawings influenced by old European woodblock engravings. Specifically, Knapp pulls her inspiration from 16th through 18th century blocks, which were in all genres including religion, art, history, science and medicine. She borrows ideas from medical illustrations for her current exhibit at Hellion Gallery in Portland, "Prehensility". The title refers to the quality of an appendage adapted for grasping, for example, as a monkey's tail has adapted to grasping to a branch. The show is an extension of Knapp's previous works in both style and theme, where she explores a relationship between psychology and biology in the context of one's environment.
