Overview
Hatching may be a pleasure.
Hatching is an artistic technique used to create tonal or shading effects by drawing multiple, closely spaced parallel lines. In real-world media, you have to lift your tool after having drawn each hatching line; in Infinite Painter you don’t have to.
Hatching guide allows you to hatch quickly without lifting your stylus or finger.
