Lesson 8 - CrosshatchingCrosshatching is another way to form value. It is a more complicated one, and is usually done by advanced artists. Crosshatching is similar to hatching, but instead of lines just going one direction they go in multiple directions. Parallel lines are crossed by other sets of lines which create a dense grid-like pattern. It’s harder to do, as the intervals of both lines must be watched carefully. Before you go any further, please look at student examples here.
|
| 1. | The beginning steps are just like the last assignment. Take the shading picture you completed, put a blank piece of paper over it, and trace it lightly with pencil. (A window or a light table is helpful at this point). |
| 2. | Using a pen, start with the darkest values first (10). Remember you can go with the contour of the object. If the object is slightly rounded, the lines should reflect that in BOTH directions. |
| 3. | Remember with crosshatching, lines can go in perpendicular directions. You can use hatching for parts of the drawing. |
| 4. | Make a Xerox of the original picture and your crosshatching picture...compare values and adjust values where needed. |
| 5. | When turning work in: keep your original magazine picture, send me your drawing and a Xerox copy of your drawing and magazine picture together. |
You will be graded on a 1-6 scale on the following:
- NO outlines
- Values match original picture
- Used at least 6 ranges of value
- Craftsmanship (erase all pencil marks)
- Lines show contour (shape) in at least two directions
TURNING WORK IN? You may scan your work, use a digital camera, or use snail mail (send to the address on the contact page). Use the assignment link below to upload your files; if you're sending your work by snail mail, use the assignment link below to tell me WHEN you sent it. (If you're not sure how to upload or send files by snail mail, review the Procedures page.)
Excellent examples will be posted with permission of the artist.
Done? Please check it off on your Timeline.
