Thank you for the class! I'm not really a beginner - mostly I use a lot of looping and contouring in my doodles - but I've always been terrified of -crosshatching-, probably because I read some comic book inking manuals in my youth and they were VERY clear on how despicable poor crosshatching is. Now that I feel a little less angsty about 'breaking rules', I decided to look up some crosshatching exercises, and your class got me started.

Here are a couple of sheets of exercises, aswell as the little Moomin-esque thing I made at the end. (It's a house shaped like Snufkin, because in Norwegian, swapping one letter of that character's name turns him into a house. All silly.)

 

This is a Rhodia sketchpad. Along the way, I've learned that the uni pin fineliners have sturdier tips than the micron ones, at least the tiniest 0.05s, where I find the micron tips will just disappear into the pen - and my grip/pressure is very light.
