Comb
A field of hatch that combs itself along the path you drag. It stays the way you leave it.
Drag across the sheet. The strokes stay the way you leave them.
How it works
About 1,300 short strokes on a loose grid, all at 45° to begin with, like the hatch on a section drawing. As the pointer moves, each stroke within reach turns towards the direction of travel, more the closer it is. A stroke has no head or tail, so it always turns the short way round.
The pass you are making is in the second pen. Start another and the last one goes back to ink. The sheet is only repainted when you move.

Made for the fun of it. The paid work gets the same pen.
