Hard Cock in T-Shirt Delineated
I started this rendering with a light, quick pencil sketch to outline the subject. Since this is a watercolor, I had to make sure that I made lines that were light in tone because they could possibly darken the watercolor tones. I put the watercolors on last because I can see where the hatch lines are. Contour lines are done to give the total image of the figure, because they are outlines.
The contour lines in the rendering of the erection are not dark at all because they are working with watercolors. A pen line is very different from a lead pencil line because it is finer. The fine points of the pen lines let the watercolor flow through for better pigment adherence.
Erection Hatched
Hatch lines are used to make shade and shadow as well as give form to the figure because they are not vector. Contour lines are vector elements because they make solid definition of the figure. The hatch lines are a short sequence of strokes that form a patter that is used for shading. These patterns are similar to bitmap patter giving various tones all over the watercolor. I always make sure to not put many hatch lines into a watercolor drawing because they can make it too dark. I started to draw the hatch line at the edge of the contour lines because that is where the shadows begin. As I get closer to the light, I do fewer hatch lines.
The best practice I use, is to work both hatch lines and the contour lines together. These lines create the image that form a cohesive balance to the layout of the hard cock at T-shirt.
