torso crosshatch
The three types of line are; Actual, implied and psychic. Actual lines can vary in weight character and other qualities. Implied lines can be a series of dots or things arranged linearly which the eye will connect into a line. Psychic lines are not actual lines. They are a mental connection between two subjects. Like two people looking at one another or a finger pointing at something. The eye is drawn to the object of attention
In this drawing I used mostly actual lines. There are a few implied lines in the light areas. I used cross hatching to draw this picture. I generally started with a #2B pencil drawing in the medium value areas. I crosshatched several different directions until I filled in the area. I would also apply pressure to darken areas. Afterward I used softer lead pencils to add darker values. For the very light areas, I used the HB pencil. I used implied lines in the lightest areas.
Since the draped cloth contained a lot of detail and wide range of values I used short strokes. In the wider areas such as shadow and vase, I use broader strokes.
