Drawing Techniques

"There is no science without fancy and no art without facts." - Vladimir Nabokov

 Like any art form, there are endless possibilities when it comes to the technique and execution of drawing and sketching.

These methods build off from the previously discussed topic of the light spectrum in that they are, essentially, the gateway into drawing the 3D world. Here are a few examples:

 1) Hatching
 2) Cross-Hatching
 3) Back-and-Forth
 4) Scumbling
