What happens when layers of lines increase in cross hatching?

Correct answer: Shadow becomes darker

Correct answer: D, the shadow becomes darker. Cross hatching uses sets of lines drawn in different directions, often crossing one another, to build tone. First, one layer of lines may create a light or medium value. When another layer is added, more marks occupy the same area, so less blank paper remains visible. The eye reads the increased density as a darker shadow. A is wrong because adding layers does not keep the value light; it normally increases darkness. B is wrong because line layers change value, not the name or identity of a colour. C is wrong because space does not literally end; the drawing merely receives more marks. Memory cue: in cross hatching, each added layer acts like another shade placed over the first.
