Dots / Stippling
- Use tiny dots to create value;
- The closer together the dots, the darker the tone;
- Larger dots create a denser tonal value more quickly but can looks coarse.
Scrumbling / Random
- "Brillo Pad" technique; uses layers of small calligraphic to build up value and texture;
- Various textures result depending on whether these short hatches are applied vertically, at right angles, following a contour or at random angles.
Crosshatching
- Uses layers of hatching placed at an angle;
- The first layer would be vertical, the next horizontal, the next at 45°, and so on.
Hatching
- Basic method of creating value in ink drawing;
- The closer the lines are, the less white paper shows, and the darker the value appears.
Contour Hatching
- Hatching placed at a slight angle creates a moire-like effect, the diamond-shaped fragments of white paper enlivening the denser ares of value;
- Often used in figure drawing, with the direction of line helping to suggest the cross-contours of the body;
- Hatching which follows a contour can also help to make objects appear more three-dimensional.
