6 - Line as Value

Once more I'll look towards the comic realm to really demonstrate Line as value. To create value, many implement a tool known as cross hatching. Cross hatching is essentially marking lines multiple times in different directions to make a shadow or a value in the composition.

Notice how Bryan Hitch hatches and cross hatches the muscular of the character to show the different value and shading of it. Also note how he hatches the clothing as well as the weapon in the forms hand in a different way to fool you into seeing the texture of each form as well.
