Description
How is light to dark represented with line? In the case of cartooning and comic book creation they are represented as thick to think lines. It's a graphic interpretation of a fully rendered object.

Using that same thick to thin line you can use spacing to create another shadow by controlling the space in between the thick to thin lines. This is the basis of cross hatching.

Each line should serve a purpose to describe the shape or volume of the drawing. Understanding how line weights and thick to thin lines work will help you better describe the drawing you are inking. Each line should be descriptive and give information about the drawing. Understanding the difference between lines used to describe form and those lines designed and chosen to describe texture and special effects is important to communicating your drawing with line.

This card is taken from a video I'm making on Inking. I'll be posting that later this week.
