Cross Contours and Hatching.

Hendrik Goltius [detail]

Drawing II folk,
In last class we moved on from the contour homework into taking line in greater detail into the interior of forms.  Remember- hatching is a series of parallel lines; Often an artist will "Cross-hatch" by intersecting the set of lines with another set at a 45 to 90 degree angle.  
This post shows several examples of these high detail stylistic marks.  The "cross contours" wrap around the form; Implying the underlying volume instead of running the risk of flattening an image the way unconsidered cross hatching can.
