So to start draw two diagonal lines, a set distance from each other. then choose Object > Path > Blend. Then with the Blend Still selected, choose Object > Path > Blend Options. Choose "Steps" and set the number of hatches you want to exist between your two lines. If you double click, you can adjust the original lines and modify the pattern. You can also use the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C) to change the path of the pattern. Hope that helps. you can use the blend tool to make set of hatches from two lines.

About hatching effect in Step 5, if we don't use brush, is there another way to make hatch/cross-hatched effect in Illus? I don't want to use swatch cuz it looks fake. I want it to look like we draw it *like you did in step 5 with brush*. I've seen so many ppl do hatching in Illus and I think they use tip or effect to do that. If I want to use hatch with the whole picture, it definitely takes a long time to finish with brush. I just want to ask if there is another way ^^ If not, I think brush is the only choose. Thank you.

Since I inherited an ancient Wacom tablet, I have been searching for the perfect brush settings to replicate authentic marker drawing. Just copying your settings in step 4 has already freed my creativity; can't wait to try this one out for real! Wonderful tutorial!

Since I don't have Illustrator, I will experiment with Photoshop.
