<p>Is there a name for drawing/painting by texture and pattern naming?</p>
<p>For example naming that goes along with these patterns and expands further?</p>

<p>I would ask for a specific book but I believe that is off topic for this site.</p>

Is there a name for drawing/painting by texture and pattern naming?

For example naming that goes along with these patterns and expands further?

**Hatching and Crosshatching techniques**

Different types of hatching and crosshatching:

* Scribble hatching: overlapping circles or squiggles. This leaves a rough organic feel and texture
* Hatching: Parallel lines to fill in a tone
* Patch hatching: Creating small interlacing lines, varying in angle (that look like a patch)
* Cross hatching: Similar to the patch hatching, but avoiding 90° angles while interlacing lines, staying with acute line angles.
* Contour hatching: Instead of keeping the lines parallel, you wrap the lines around, like a curved surface. As you draw, the lines will wrap around the curved surface.
