Brenda Hoddinott

F-02 BEGINNER: HATCHING

In this lesson, you outline three simple mountains and add shading with hatching You create the four different values with a 2B pencil, by using a combination of the following two techniques:

̇ Vary the density of the hatching lines by drawing them either far apart or close together

̇ Vary the pressure used while holding the pencil; you press lightly for the light values and

a little harder for darker values

This lesson is divided into the following two parts:

¬ SKETCHING THREE MOUNTAINS: You sketch three overlapping mountains beginning

with the one that is closest, and working back toward the distant mountain

¬ ADDING SHADING WITH HATCHING: The farther an object recedes into the distance,

the lighter in value it seems to become After shading the sky with a very light value, you then add shading to the mountains with hatching, beginning with the one in the background, and working toward the foreground, making each value progressively darker

This project is recommended for artists and aspiring artists of all ages, as well as

home schooling, academic and recreational fine art educators

SKETCHING THREE MOUNTAINS

In this section, you sketch three overlapping mountains beginning with the one that is closest,

and working back toward the distant mountain and the sky Overlapping is a technique that gives

the illusion of depth in a drawing, and refers to the position of subjects in a composition, when one visually appears to be in front of another (or others)

1 Outline a horizontal rectangle (similar in shape to mine) as your drawing space

A horizontal rectangle is often referred to as a landscape format Suggested sizes include 2

by 4 inches, or 3 by 6 inches

2 Sketch the outline of the first mountain

This mountain is in the front, closer to the viewer than the other two

ADDING SHADING WITH HATCHING

In this section, you begin by shading the sky Then, you add shading to the mountains with hatching, beginning with the one in the background, and working toward the foreground, making each value progressively darker This shading process creates a component of perspective known

as atmospheric perspective

Atmospheric perspective (sometimes called aerial perspective) refers to the visual depth created

by various particles in the atmosphere The farther an object recedes into the distance, the lighter

in value it seems to become, and its edges and forms appear more blurred Even on a clear day, your ability to see distant objects is decreased by an assortment of atmospheric components, such

as minuscule particles of dust and/or pollen and/or tiny droplets of moisture Your vision becomes even further diminished when the atmosphere is filled with haze, fog, smoke, rain or snow Even fairly close-up objects can appear out of focus or almost invisible under certain conditions

Shading refers to those parts of a drawing that have values (sometimes called tones), and is used

to give the illusion of depth or three-dimensional reality Hatching is a classical shading technique comprised of sets of lines drawn closely together to give the illusion of various values

Values are the different shades of gray created by varying the density of the lines, and the

pressure used in holding the pencil

In this section, you use a 2B pencil to render four different values, by combining two techniques: Vary the density of the hatching lines by drawing them either far apart or close together

Vary the pressure used while holding the pencil; you press lightly for the light values and a little harder for darker values

5 Press very lightly with your 2B pencil to draw the lightest hatching lines of the sky

The lines are far apart and few in number

ILLUSTRATION 02-04

6 Use an HB pencil to add shading to the mountain in the distance

This mountain needs to be slightly darker than the sky; so, you need to press a little harder on your pencil, and also draw a few more hatching lines However, keep in mind that the two closer mountains need to be even darker, so be careful not to make this shading too dark

ILLUSTRATION 02-05

7 Add shading to the second mountain with a 2B pencil

Press a little harder with your pencil, and add lots of hatching lines fairly close together

ILLUSTRATION 02-06

8 Add shading to the mountain in the foreground with a 2B pencil

More lines make up the fourth hatching set, and they are much closer together than in the first three Also, not much of the white paper is still showing through

BRENDA HODDINOTT - BIOGRAPHY

As a self-educated teacher, visual artist, portraitist, forensic artist, and illustrator, Brenda Hoddinott utilizes diverse art media including graphite, technical pen, colored pencil, chalk pastel, charcoal, conté crayon, and oil paints

My philosophy on teaching art is to focus primarily

on the enjoyment aspects while gently introducing the technical and academic Hence, in creating a passion for the subject matter, the quest for knowledge also becomes enjoyable

>Brenda Hoddinott<

Born in St John’s, Newfoundland, Brenda grew up in the small town of Corner Brook She developed strong technical competencies with a personal commitment to self directed learning, and the aid of assorted “Learn to Draw” books During Brenda’s twenty-five year career as a self-educated civilian forensic artist, numerous criminal investigation departments have employed Brenda’s skills, including Royal Canadian Mounted Police and municipal police departments In 1992, Brenda was honored with a commendation from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and in 1994, she was awarded a Certificate of Membership from “Forensic Artists International”

Her home-based art career included graphic design, and teaching recreational drawing and painting classes As supervisor of her community’s recreational art department, Brenda hired and trained teachers, and designed curriculum for several children’s art programs In 1998, Brenda chose to end her eighteen-year career as an art educator in order to devote more time to writing, drawing, painting, and developing her websites

Drawspace http://www.drawspace.com incorporates her unique style and innovative approach to curriculum development This site offers downloadable and printable drawing classes for students of all abilities from the age of eight through adult Students of all ages, levels and abilities have praised the simple step-by-step instructional approach This site is respected as a resource for fine art educators, home schooling programs, and educational facilities throughout the world
