Line as Value

Artists can create shades of light and dark gray by the placing lines different spaces apart, this use of line creates value.



One technique of using line as value is called cross-hatching, as seen in this picture. Artists use parallel and crossing lines to create even more possible shades of gray.




this technique is very useful in the depiction of volume and textures.
