II hatching, parallel and cross, is used for centuries as a means to define the shape and texture in a drawing monochrome. In parallel dashed lines running precisely parallel to each other and in cross-hatching instead intersect to form a thin "screen" tone. With simple
vary the number and the distance between the lines you can get a huge range of tones, ranging from very dark to lighter. However, since the white paper was never deleted entirely, maintains a light tone which is one of the advantages of the technique. The lines themselves can also communicate energy and movement, especially when they run in different directions following the contours of the subject and describing its shape and volume.

The effect will be determined by the type of pencil used (hard or soft) as the shape that you take the tip, the type of paper as the degree of pressure that will be exercised, and finally the character of lines, depending which are strictly controlled and summary that is free. In this area of \u200b\u200bwork, for example, the artist has worked on large drawing paper hot press, smooth surface on which the thin pencil lines appear crisp and clean.

The technique of hatching takes time and requires a patient and methodical, but it gives a lot of satisfaction. It is important to add the features gradually until it reaches the desired intensity of tone. If tone escalates over too soon, the finished design may appear dark and heavy, so it is necessary to be patient when building shadows.

With this type of design is essential shaded constant reference to the subject, looking carefully at the shadows and evaluating each tone in relation to the next tone. Try to develop the design as a whole, gradually bringing the tone of the various parts of the composition in line gli uni con gli altri mentre si lavora.
