crosshatch
This term describes a specific technical method of layering lines to simulate value or texture. It is primarily used in the context of fine arts, architectural drafting, and textile manufacturing, where it serves as a precise alternative to blending or smudging for creating gradients.
As a noun, the word refers to the resulting geometric grid. While it can be used to describe a physical pattern on a surface, it is most frequently encountered in instructional art manuals or critiques of engraving and sketching techniques.
