How the Hatching style works

Hatching builds tone the way a pen artist does, stroke by stroke: faint areas get a single diagonal, and brighter ones add a second diagonal, then a horizontal, then a vertical stroke. The result reads like an ink drawing — light lines on dark.

Best for

Sketch, ink and illustration looks.

Tips

  • B&W or Sepia grades sell the pen look.
  • Raise Edge Emphasis for defined outlines.
  • Export SVG for print-ready line art.

Export

PNG, JPEG, WebP and SVG. Animated looks export as GIF, MP4 or WebM.
