6. Shading - Techniques
Hatching is a series of straight or curved
lines (called a set), drawn beside one
another to give the illusion of a value.
Crosshatching is a shading technique
in which one set of lines crosses over
(overlaps) another set.
The act of Stippling involves covering
an area with dots. It is a wildly time-
consuming technique, in which an image
is drawn dot...by dot...by dot. Pointillism
in art is based on this technique.

7. Shading - Techniques
Scribbling has many different names
and techniques such as
Scumbling, Circling & Squirkling.
Basically, this technique involves
shading using random strokes or
circlular strokes.
Blending, also known as Smooth
Shading is where you use your finger or
some smudge tool such as a piece of
cloth or cotton swab and smear the
shading for a more uniform shade. If
controlled correctly this can give a
smooth polished look.
