Contouring with cross-hatching One of the more challenging aspects of pen and ink shading is cross-hatching around the cross-contour of round forms. It is much easier to render block forms with their flat planes and straight edges, but round forms require a gradual contouring while sometimes even simultaneously gradating value. An effective way of handling this is to designate the layers of your hatching to follow different directions. So one layer of hatching may follow a particular axis of the

Planes Visualizing the basic planes of forms helps with choosing the directions of your ink strokes. The main challenge is in learning to ignore the smaller surface forms and many superficial details.
