The left is just showing where the branches are... But if you want I can add bark.

One-way cross hatching is just called hatching :þ

Love the style, but the one on the left looks a little plain (Some white bark texture mebbe?)

Very clever use of contrast. I ought to try something similar.

Very very nice, it's amazing what simple black and white can do.

Nah, just pen swipes. Like lots of diagonal lines. One direction the whole time.
Cross hatching is both directions.

And I don't know why my icons seem to not work... I will try to re upload.

I meant what you did in rl..
It's like cross hatching.

Shadow gamer, can you please reupload the preview image? It seems to be broken.

Etching as in?
If you mean like scratched in, then fine ok.
more like sketching and then refining but what ever.
