Good Morning,
Today's art blog is on hatching & cross-hatching.
Hatching involves building up lots of lines in parallel to establish a mass of dark tone.
Cross-hatching allows yo to create even darker tones through layering parallel lines in different directions.
You can experiment with pen and pencil.

Take care, more tomorrow.
