3. To know where to put your hatching, make sure you image one area of the paper that the light is coming from, or a light source. Dark hatching will go where the shadows would fall. Use your marker for hatching. To cross hatch, draw small parallel lines in one single direction down the edge of your shapes.

10 min.
