1. crosshatch

   Hatching (French: hachure) is an artistic technique used to create tonal or shading effects by drawing (or painting or scribing) closely spaced parallel lines. (It is also used in monochromatic representations of heraldry to indicate what the tincture of a "full-colour" emblazon would be.) When lines are placed at an angle to one another, it is called cross-hatching. Hatching is especially important in essentially linear media, such as drawing, and many forms of printmaking, such as engraving, etching and woodcut. In Western art, hatching originated in the Middle Ages, and developed further into cross-hatching, especially in the old master prints of the fifteenth century. Master ES and Martin Schongauer in engraving and Erhard Reuwich and Michael Wolgemut in woodcut were pioneers of both techniques, and Albrecht Dürer in particular perfected the technique of crosshatching in both media. Artists use the technique, varying the length, angle, closeness and other qualities of the lines, most commonly in drawing, linear painting and engraving.

1. crosshatch

   Crosshatch is a drawing or artistic technique where fine parallel lines are drawn closely together at different angles to create a shaded or textured effect. It is often used in pencil sketches, etchings, engravings and other forms of monochromatic artwork to depict depth, shadows or patterns. The more dense the lines, the darker the area appears. It can also refer to a pattern or design consisting of intersecting stripes or lines, creating a series of squares or diamonds.
