when using parallel lines {hatching} or cross hatching...which you will soon learn about....your flat artwork starts to look real! we call this visual texture!
now ....lets think about lines.....they are just marks on paper that are made using a pencil, pen or even a paint brush!
look at the marks to the right....................................................
these are broken lines...but your brain puts it together so that you see a straight, horizontal line.
you learned about "hatch" above...just a series of fine parallel lines...now if we cross those parallel lines with other parallel lines.....we get ....cross hatch
You should also know about "pattern" a pattern is a design that repeats itself as you see here
Lastly, you should know that the light and dark parts of an object are called "value"
for our new assignment, we will create a scene using visual texture after we watch the video below!
Pease recreate the sphere & cube as you see here.
use hatching, cross hatching or your eraser to blend pencil lines to show visual texture
in the example to the right, we see that the light source is from above left.
