Pen & Ink
Pen and ink are basic drawing tools, it takes a bit of practice
to achieve good results. When you draw a line, try to make sure that your
arm and hand flow smoothly and lightly over the page. Hatching or cross-hatching
are systems of lines drawn over one another in various directions.
This is a very popular means of bringing depth and grey tones into
your drawing. This is also a way to get away from lines that simply describe
contours or shapes.
