Across
  1. 5. A form of carbon used in pencils, available in a range of hardness (from soft 9B to hard 9H) to produce varying values.
  2. 7. The spreading of ink outside of the intended area, often used for blending when using alcohol markers.
  3. 10. A technique where intersecting lines are used to create a range of values.
  4. 13. The arrangement of elements within a drawing, including balance, contrast, and focal points.
  5. 14. Weight The thickness or thinness of a line, which can create emphasis or depth in a drawing.
  6. 16. A marker filled with colorless alcohol-based ink used to blend and soften marker strokes.
  7. 18. The soft, faded edge that occurs when marker ink spreads into adjacent areas, either unintentionally or as a blending technique.
  8. 20. The quality of a material being impenetrable to light; in markers, opacity determines how much of the underlying surface shows through the ink.
  9. 21. The perceived surface quality of a drawing, which can be real or implied through visual techniques.
  10. 22. The lightness or darkness of a color or tone, used to create depth and dimension.
  11. 25. The technique of smoothing graphite or other media to create gradual transitions between values.
  12. 27. A technique of shading using closely spaced parallel lines.
Down
  1. 1. Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel and create harmonious combinations.
  2. 2. A method of shading or creating texture using numerous small dots.
  3. 3. A three-dimensional object or the illusion of three dimensions in a two-dimensional work of art.
  4. 4. A continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point, which can vary in width, direction, and length.
  5. 6. A technique where heavy pressure is applied with a colored pencil to blend colors and create a smooth, polished look.
  6. 8. Colors opposite each other on the color wheel, used to create contrast and vibrant color interactions.
  7. 9. The intensity of color, which can be built up with multiple layers of alcohol marker ink.
  8. 11. Lines that move across the form of an object to suggest its three-dimensionality.
  9. 12. A technique used to soften edges or create soft gradations by rubbing the medium on the paper.
  10. 15. A visual representation of colors arranged by their chromatic relationship, used to understand color theory.
  11. 17. A technique for representing three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface, giving the illusion of depth and space.
  12. 19. The difference between light and dark areas in a drawing, used to emphasize focal points and create interest.
  13. 23. The process of building color gradually by applying multiple layers of pencil, often to create complex hues.
  14. 24. Drawing, A method of drawing where the artist sketches the outline of a subject without lifting the drawing tool from the paper.
  15. 26. An enclosed space defined by lines or contrast, typically flat and two-dimensional (e.g., circles, squares).
