  1. Hatching

  2. Cross-hatching

  3. Stippling

  4. Smudging


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Smudging is not a common shading technique because it can be difficult to control and can result in a muddy appearance.

What is the most common type of shading used in pencil drawings?

  1. Hatching

  2. Cross-hatching

  3. Stippling

  4. Scumbling


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hatching is the most common type of shading used in pencil drawings because it is easy to control and can create a wide range of values.

What is the difference between hatching and cross-hatching?

  1. Hatching is done with parallel lines, while cross-hatching is done with intersecting lines.

  2. Hatching is done with short lines, while cross-hatching is done with long lines.

  3. Hatching is done with light pressure, while cross-hatching is done with heavy pressure.

  4. Hatching is used to create light values, while cross-hatching is used to create dark values.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hatching is done with parallel lines, while cross-hatching is done with intersecting lines. This creates a different visual effect, with hatching creating a more subtle and even tone, while cross-hatching creates a more dramatic and textured effect.

What is stippling?

  1. A shading technique that uses small dots to create a gradual transition from light to dark.

  2. A shading technique that uses short, parallel lines to create a gradual transition from light to dark.

  3. A shading technique that uses long, intersecting lines to create a gradual transition from light to dark.

  4. A shading technique that uses heavy pressure to create a gradual transition from light to dark.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Stippling is a shading technique that uses small dots to create a gradual transition from light to dark. This can be done with a variety of tools, such as a pen, pencil, or brush.

What is scumbling?

  1. A shading technique that uses short, parallel lines to create a gradual transition from light to dark.

  2. A shading technique that uses long, intersecting lines to create a gradual transition from light to dark.

  3. A shading technique that uses heavy pressure to create a gradual transition from light to dark.

  4. A shading technique that uses a circular motion to create a gradual transition from light to dark.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Scumbling is a shading technique that uses a circular motion to create a gradual transition from light to dark. This can be done with a variety of tools, such as a brush or a sponge.
