What is Crosshatching? - Pen and ink drawing for beginners

Cross hatching is the method of using black and white lines to give the illusion of tone or shade in a black and white drawing , which by definition, has only two tones or shade - Black and white

Hatching is filling in an area with parallel lines to create an illusion of tone or shade.

Adding another layer of lines, drawn in a different direction, gives the illusion of a darker shade.

Adding more layers in different directions, darkens the filled area more with each layer.

Used simply it is a way of filling areas with tone or shade.

Used creatively, cross hatching can also give the illusion or impression of depth or 3Dness.

It requires fine motor skills, patience and persistence to learn to draw lines at equal distances and make the tonal vale look even.

Practice a little bit everyday and you will soon be a master of Coss hatching.

The Shoo Rayner Drawing Channel won the 2011 YouTube NextUp award and is dedicated to teaching, promoting and inspiring drawing for everyone from beginners to experts who like to see how other people do what they do.

Shoo believes that everyone can draw but they lose confidence at school when they think they have to make their drawings look perfect or in a recognised classic style.

Drawing is just making marks on paper and you are allowed to draw anyway you like

Drawing is all about getting ideas out of you head and on to paper, it's about understanding how the world is put together and it's about having fun, with no stress, just drawing for fun.

Make sure you are subscribed for new drawings every Monday and Friday in you inbox and learn to draw better and with confidence with Shoo. ➡️ http://bit.ly/Sub2Shoo
