Three common fill patterns

Three common fill patterns used in pyrography

are crosshatching, random doodles, and the

scrubbie stroke.

Crosshatching

fills an area with layers of fine

parallel lines. Each new layer is laid on a diagonal

to the last, slowly developing the depth of the

tonal value.

Make the

random doodle stroke

by working

tightly packed loops. As the new looping line

crosses an older line, the area becomes denser and

therefore darker.

The

scrubbie

is a short back-and-forth stroke

that quickly fills an area. The space between each of

those back-and-forth strokes, how much unburned

area is allowed, establishes your tonal depth.

As you work your practice board you

will discover the fill strokes that are the most

comfortable or natural for you to use in your style

of work.

These pages show you how to set up your own

basic practice board using wood.

In this book, I’ve taken practice boards a step

further and show you how to create boards that are

projects all on their own and not just the standard

grid pattern.
