Ink Drawings drawing techniques: creating value in pen and ink drawings Most people are somewhat familiar with the process of shading with a pencil, but not everyone knows the drawing techniques for creating value with a pen. There is one main difference between shading with a pencil and shading with a pen: with pencil, you can apply shading by increasing pressure - in other words, pressing the pencil harder against the paper in the areas that you want to appear darker. With the exception of ball point pens, you can't use the pressure technique in pen and ink to create value. Instead, you must use one of the techniques demonstrated below. You might be surprised to learn that, aside from the pressure technique, the basic drawing techniques for creating value when drawing with pen involves exactly the same strokes as when using pencil. The basic strokes include hatching, cross-hatching, contour-hatching, scumbling, and stippling, as shown in the examples below. http://www.art-is-fun.com/drawing-techniques-creating-value-in-pen-and-ink-drawings.html hatching - a row of lines, all facing in the same direction.

In this case, the hatching is rounded to match the shape of the circle. scumbling - tiny, squiggly circular lines - sort of like "controlled scribbling" stippling - placing many, many dots on the paper to indicate shading.

hatching - a row of lines, all facing in the same direction. More dense and
concentrated in the areas that appear darker.
cross-hatching - similar to hatching, except with the addition of criss-crossing lines.
contour-hatching - follows the contour, or curve or outline, of the object. In this case,
the hatching is rounded to match the shape of the circle.
scumbling - tiny, squiggly circular lines - sort of like "controlled scribbling"
stippling - placing many, many dots on the paper to indicate shading. Probably the
most time consuming of all the methods, but creates some neat effects.
8 step cross hatching value scale
gradated value scale
Shading makes a flat circle shape become an illusion of a three dimensional ball – 3D form.
Ink drawing techniques and patterns show changes in value to define a shape or imply texture.
Line Drawings … hatching is all about spacing – the use of negative space! Notice lines on dog – follow contour of face – this is “cross contour” lines
Cross hatching used in everyday objects … such as money:
Lines do more than connect two points! …. Lines can also form patterns for implied textures and value
changes. The patterns can be combinations of line, geometric shapes or inspired from nature. You can
adjust the depth of tone and the roughness of texture by varying the density and distribution of the dots.
Take a look at the Creative ways artist use ink drawing techniques……
Albrecht Dürer, Rhinoceros, woodcut, 1515
Notice how he makes his own patterns and gradually spaces them apart for less shading.
Claude Mellan, Head of Christ on the Sudarium (detail)
Engraving, France, 1649
Line engraving usually creates variations in tone through the juxtaposition and cross-hatching of lines. Claude Mellan (1598-
1688) developed a unique style that relied only on curving parallel lines. He exploited the possibilities of the swelling and tapering of an engraved line to give greater or lesser emphasis
to the line, depending on whether it represented an area of shade or light. Mellan demonstrated the virtuosity of his
technique with this depiction of Christ. The image is formed almost entirely from a single line that spirals out from the
nose. Christ’s head is depicted on the Sudarium. According to Christian tradition, this is the name of the veil of St Veronica, which she used to wipe Christ’s brow before the Crucifixion.
