Definitions
- Referring to a technique of shading or drawing using closely spaced parallel lines. - Describing the use of hatching lines to create depth, texture, or shadow in a drawing or map. - Talking about the use of hachure lines to indicate slope or elevation in topographic maps.
- Referring to a technique of shading or drawing using small dots or specks. - Describing the use of stippling to create texture, tone, or shadow in a drawing or painting. - Talking about the use of stippling in engraving or printmaking to create a range of tones or shades.
List of Similarities
- 1Both are techniques of shading or drawing.
- 2Both involve creating texture, tone, or shadow.
- 3Both can be used to create depth or dimensionality.
- 4Both require attention to detail and precision.
- 5Both are commonly used in art, illustration, and cartography.
What is the difference?
- 1Method: Hachure uses closely spaced parallel lines while stippling uses small dots or specks.
- 2Size: Hachure lines are typically longer and thicker than stippling dots.
- 3Intensity: Hachure lines can create darker and more defined shadows while stippling dots can create softer and more subtle tones.
- 4Purpose: Hachure lines are often used in topographic maps to indicate elevation or slope while stippling dots are more commonly used in art and illustration to create texture or tone.
- 5History: Hachure has been used in cartography for centuries while stippling became popular in the 19th century with the rise of engraving and printmaking.
Remember this!
Hachure and stippling are both techniques of shading or drawing that involve creating texture, tone, or shadow. However, the difference between hachure and stippling is their method, size, intensity, purpose, and history. Hachure uses closely spaced parallel lines to create darker and more defined shadows, often in topographic maps. Stippling uses small dots or specks to create softer and more subtle tones, often in art and illustration.
