Loose Cross Hatching

 

Above about shading technique.

Loose CrossHatching- if you've drawn anything before, you've probably already used this shading method. It's simple yet effective. I think it is very artistic looking too. The basic idea of crosshatching is to overlap lines. Start by drawing a set of diagonal lines next to eachother. Then rotate your drawing 90 degrees and draw another set of diagonal lines that overlap the first set. This can be repeated numerous times to build up tone. Crosshatching can be as tight or as loose as you want it to be.
