Squirkling---- shading by raj maurya

Squirkling

What do you get when you cross squiggles and scribbles with circles? You get squirkles! I coined this fun word to describe this enjoyable shading technique. Many of my students from the past two decades are very familiar with squirkling squirkles!

The next illustration provides a peek into the versatility of squirkling. When squirkle sets have noticeable spaces between the lines, they work beautifully for shading various textures, such as fuzzy fabrics and curly hair. Squirkles can look like a solid tone when the lines are drawn closely together, and are great for shading lots of different aspects of people, including skin tones.

Crosshatching--- by raj maurya

Crosshatching

Crosshatching is a shading technique in which one set of lines crosses over (overlaps) another set. In the upper set (see the next drawing), the crosshatching lines are far apart and lots of white spaces are visible. Lines that are close together (as in the second set) look like a solid tone.

Crosshatching lines can have noticeable spaces between them or appear to be a solid tone.

Hatching

Hatching is a series of straight or curved lines (called a set), drawn beside one another to give the illusion of a value. Depending on the shading effects you want, you can make the individual lines in hatching sets far apart or close together. In the hatching set in the upper left (in the next illustration), you can clearly see each individual hatching line. However, the hatching lines in the second set are drawn closely together to create a solid tone.
