Hatching (parallel lines) and cross-hatching (intersecting lines) are fundamental. Stippling (dots) creates texture. Blending with a blending stump or tortillon can create smooth gradients. Consider the light source and apply shadows accordingly. Vary line weight – thicker lines for outlines, thinner lines for details.
