cross hatching
Overlapping parallel strokes
Cross hatching is a drawing or engraving technique using two or more sets of parallel lines that intersect at angles, creating areas of shading or texture.
The denser the lines, the darker the area appears.
Artists use cross hatching to suggest depth, shadow, and form without solid fills: The etching's cross hatching gave the figure remarkable dimension.
Also spelled crosshatching or cross-hatching.
