LINEAR

What does a linear mark show?

• Fine detail and surface texture

• Atmospheric perspective

• Color and tone

• Outlines, shapes, and edges

What is the purpose of hatching and crosshatching?

• To create a sense of volume and three-dimensionality

• To create a solid sense of atmospheric perspective

• To demonstrate value in a drawing

• To vary the density and darken the values

What is parallel hatching?

• Several layers of cross hatch marks

• Lines following the contours of the subject

• Rows of parallel lines placed closely together

• Short sets of parallel marks in one direction

What is contour hatching?

• Several layers of cross hatch marks

• Short sets of parallel marks in one direction

• Rows of parallel lines placed closely together

• Lines following the contours of the subject

What is crosshatching?

• Rows of parallel lines placed closely together

• Another set of hatch marks drawn on top in a perpendicular direction

• Lines following the contours of the subject

• Short sets of parallel marks in one direction
