A shading technique that uses intersecting lines of varying densities to simulate varying levels of darkness. A lightly colored object will have few lines, whereas a very dark object may have so many lines as to be solid black. Crosshatching is a variant of simple hatching and may have two or more directions in which the lines lie.

This may be used alongside other forms of hatching, such as linear hatching or woven hatching.
