'''Shading''' is a process used in drawing for depicting levels of darkness on paper by applying media more densely or with a darker shade for darker areas, and less densely or with a lighter shade for lighter areas. There are various techniques of shading including [[Hatching|cross hatching]] where perpendicular lines of varying closeness are drawn in a grid pattern to shade an area. The closer the lines are together, the darker the area appears. Likewise, the farther apart the lines are, the lighter the area appears. |

The term has been recently generalized to mean that [[shader]]s are applied. |
|||
Light patterns, such as objects having light areas and shaded areas, help when creating the illusion of depth on paper and on computer screens. |
