Elephant No. 199: Hatching and Cross-Hatching
Today I felt like drawing, so I thought I'd try cross-hatching. The last—and I think only—time I tried this was for a sad-looking mountain landscape in a first-year studio class, so I had no idea how well a cross-hatched elephant would work. Hatching is a drawing technique used to create shading by drawing (or even engraving or painting) parallel lines. When the lines are placed at right angles to one another, it becomes cross-hatching.

Value Scales - Student Work
These value scales were done by my 2nd year 2-D kids as a warm-up exercise at the beginning of the school year. Yeah, I know I'm very late in posting them. See if you can find the scale in this first piece by junior Belinda Wu. This is her first year with me and she is coming to me with exceptional skills. She has cleverly hidden the scale in her table tops. Her attention to detail and her shading abilities are remarkable. This next piece by senior Halah Elsahhar is lovely. Her craftsmanship…
