Shading with pen and ink

About pen and ink strokes

PEN & INK STROKES
  1. Contour Lines: Contour lines are marks that precisely follow the curves and planes of an object.
  2. Parallel Lines: Parallel lines are straight marks that extend in the same direction. Sketched free-hand, the lines need not have ruler straight perfection.
  3. Crosshatching: Crosshatching consists of two or more sets of contour or parallel lines that are stroked in different directions and intersect.
  4. Stippling: Stippling is a grouping of dots.
  5. Scribble: A scribble line is a free flowing (but controlled) mark that loops and twists in a sketchy manner.
  6. Wavy Lines: Wavy lines are drawn side by side in a repetitive pattern
  7. Crisscross Lines: Crisscross lines flow with the contour of an object and are arranged in a staggered, randomly crossing manner.
