Michelangelo Buonarroti, 1475-1564 Ideal Head (Head of a young man; an Idealized Bust; Female Head) Head in Profile attrib. Tommaso de Cavalieri |
Htching is an area of closely spaced parallel lines or
hatches. The the closer the spacing of the line the, the darker the area. An example
of hatching can be seen in the Ideal Head a drawing by Michelangelo. The
drawing is an example of cross-hatching where the greatest sense of volume is achieved.
In the corss-hatching, one set of hatches is crossed at an angel by a second
and sometimes by a third set. The denser the lines the darker the area.
