how do you get the eraser marks look like cross-hatching?

with a very fine eraser, heh. I use vine charcoal, which is very very workable. I believe I used a kneaded rubber eraser for most of this image.

Wonderfully dramatic, great value shapes, and your line work is fabulous. What kind of Arches paper did you use - the CP waterolor or one of their print papers? I'd love to give it a try.
