Hatching & Cross Hatching

One of the most common techniques to use in sketching and drawing is hatching and cross-hatching. These techniques are used to add depth to the artwork through shading. Hatching is a process of drawing a series of lines along the main artwork to create shadow and depth but they shouldn’t touch with each other. On the contrary, cross-hatching is the same process but in this process, the lines intersect with each other. To bring life to your artwork and make this technique more effective, try using the Carand'AcheSupracolor Soft Set of 120. It is among the best watercolour pencils which are perfect for techniques like hatching, cross-hatching, and shading.

 

Stippling

Another amazing technique to level up your sketching skill is stippling. It is also used to add depth and shading in art pieces but with the help of dots. The closer you draw the dots, the more depth you will get in your artwork. To ensure that your dots are visible and making an effective impact, try using softer and darker graphite.

 

Scribbling

We often scribble around when we are waiting or getting bored. But do you know, scribbling is actually a sketching technique? Well, we can define scribble sketch as an erratic and uneven form of art which bring pleasure and peace to the mind of artists. By using random movements across the paper and later making it more beautiful and effective with necessary art supplies, you can ace this technique without putting much effort.

 

Smooth Shading and Blending

If you want to add a clear and effective shading effect in your sketch or drawing, you should use smooth shading. It can be achieved with the perfect combination of hatching and cross-hatching techniques. It will give a smooth and realistic appearance to your artwork. After shading with preferred colours, you can blend them to have a shadow effect and an effective final design. For softer shading and blending, the Carand'AcheSupracolor Soft Set of 120 is perfect as it can be easily blended and give a beautiful shading effect.

 

Circling

Circling is a sketching technique which is used to create smooth transitions in the artwork. Artists just need to control the tone of the pencil and adjust the amount of pressure to make this technique more effective. In this technique, the pencil moves in circular strokes which helps to give a more blended appearance. It is important to note that you need to draw small circles with perceptible lines. To practice this technique efficiently, you should use Carand’Ache Luminance 6901 woodenpencil box 76 assorted colours as they are perfect for intensifying and blending colours.

 

Rendering

Rendering is a technique that will take your sketching skill to the next level. It is an essential approach in sketching where you add a highlighting effect. It’s an ongoing process of applying graphite and removing access graphite resulting in a soft and almost blurry effect.
