What is controlled by changing both direction and density of lines in cross-hatching?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Tone, shade, and depth of form
Cross-hatching is a drawing method in which sets of lines cross one another to build value and describe form. Increasing the density of the lines, reducing the gaps, or adding layers usually produces a darker tone; reducing density leaves a lighter area. Changing the direction of the groups can follow the surface or turn around a form, helping the viewer read curvature, volume, and depth. Direction also adds a sense of surface structure when it is used deliberately. Option A is correct because tone, shading, and form depth are the visual results being controlled. Cross-hatching cannot determine the smell of paper, the title, or a brush colour automatically.
