The Rectangular Marquee Tool should snap to each pixel making it easy to determine how many pixels are being selected.Ĭhoose the “Paint Bucket Tool” on the left and also select a black paint color. Next, select the “Rectangular Marquee Tool” and make a selection crossing the entire document. Also, double check to make sure the background contents is set to “Transparent”.ī2. I set up the new document to be 12×12 pixels, however this size can change depending on your needs. To do this, I first need to create a new document in Photoshop by going to “File>New”.
One other thing to note is that many PS patterns can be found online through websites like Brusheezy which can be imported into Photoshop.ī1. This method will often generate cleaner line work than what can be found on the web. This is easily done by selecting the new hatch layer, then choosing “Multiply” in the layer blend mode drop down in the layers palette.Ī second option to create a hatch is to define a custom pattern which can offer much more flexibility. Next, the white background needs to be removed. Once you have all of the layers aligned forming a larger image, they can be merged into one layer by selecting all of the individual layers in the layers palette, right click on one of the layers, and choose “Merge Layers”.Ī2. If you do need to copy a small image many times, hold down the “Alt” key (“Option” on Mac) and drag the image using the “Move” tool.
The images do not need to be large because I can copy the texture many times to create a much larger texture for what I need. In this case, I Google searched “diagonal lines” and found several images that would work. This option involves simply going online and finding a hatch pattern. Both options use a relatively fast workflow and are easy to execute.
There are two methods in Photoshop that I know of that can create the diagonal line hatch seen in the image above.
This post is also a follow up from many emails asking me to explain the diagonal line hatching used the site analysis diagrams.
