Exercise 3: creating shadow using lines and marks

I found this exercise to be rather challenging because many of the techniques are new to me. I did however enjoy the opportunity to try new methods of drawing and shading. I decided to test the all the techniques with every medium in order to see the mediums effect on the textures.

Originally, concerning the two drawings bellow, I had planned to do the cross-hatching technique on the cylinder and do the hatching on the sphere. However, after attempting the cross-hatching on the cylinder, I was not satisfied with how it turned out and thus decided to do the cross-hatching on the sphere and the hatching on the cylinder.

I found it difficult using the dotting technique mostly because I was not used to it. The circles on the other hand felt more natural although I feel they would work better with a rounded object.
