This study proposes a hybrid of Non-photorealistic Rendering techniques. Nonphotorealistic Rendering (NPR) covers one part in computer graphics that caters towards generating many kinds of 2D digital art style from 3D data, for instance output that looks like painting and drawing. NPR includes the painterly, interpretative, expressive and artistic styles, among others. NPR research deal with different issues such as the stylization that are driven by human perception, the science and art that were brought together and being harmonized with techniques used. Some of approaches used in NPR were discussed such as cartoon rendering, watercolour painting, silhouette rendering, penand- ink illustration and so on. A plan for hybridization of NPR techniques is proposed between silhouette rendering techniques and pen-and-ink illustration for this study. The integration process of these rendering techniques takes on the lighting mapping and also the construction of colour region of the model in order to ensure the pen-and-ink illustration texture can be implemented into the object. The evaluation process is based on the visualization of the image from the hybridization process. Based on findings, the hybridization of NPR technique was able to create interesting results and considered as an alternative in producing new variety of visualization image in NPR.
