9/5/2018

  • Gap between the lines
  • Lightness / darkness of the line
  • Thickness of the line
There are many line techniques can be used to create tone, as illustrated in the worksheet below. Common techniques include:
  • Small dashes
  • Hatching (long, parallel lines on an angle)
  • Cross-hatching (parallel lines at right angles)
  • Stippling (dots)
  • Scribbles
