Art materials and tools: Drawing - Pencils The drawing is probably the most immediate of all art forms. You can submit comments on the coup. In addition, all you really need to take a pencil and a sheet of paper (even a towel will do).
Unfortunately, the design is also one of the most demanding art forms and it takes a lot of practice to become really good at it. However, the drawing is a true art form based, ie it is a prerequisite for learning many other art forms like painting and sculpture.
Above all, the design is a great way to learn to see the world as it "really". It's a way to overcome the memories often greatly simplified everyday objects that we recorded in our brains since childhood.
Finally, the design also allows you to put your own interpretation of your comments and can ultimately you produce your own art.
In this article we will discuss the different pens used by professional artist.
1. Graphite Pencils
graphite pencils are the most direct and simple drawing tools. They are made from graphite and are in classes very difficult to very mild;
8H 9H ... 2H HB B 2B 3B HF ... 8B 9B
Hardest Softest
The F-pencil is a bit odd duck of the series. It produces a fairly fine line and it is often used to draw the hair. The HB-pencil between the hard and soft pencils. In practice, you do not really ever use the 22 degrees. Personally I mainly use a 3B, a 5B, a 9B, and F. For really beautiful lines I sometimes use a 2H pencil. But this is more a personal choice and you must make your own choices.
Pencils are cheap, so buy the best you can find. It is more than what it is worth. A graphite pencil right now cost about a dollar.
2. Graphite sticks
Graphite is also available in sticks. These sticks are usually wrapped in plastic film. They are classified as ordinary graphite pencils as we explained in Section 1. They are ideal for large scale projects. They are also inexpensive so do not be stingy and buy the best.
3. Crayons
Colored pencils can not be mixed and must be built in layers. The mixture is achieved by placing a transparent layer of color on top of each other. This way, it is possible to obtain very interesting optical effects. Colored pencil art has made great progress in the last twenty years. large pieces of art were made with crayons. Today, art pencil color is highly respected and many artists specialize in creating highly detailed and complex drawings.
4. Water soluble pencils
This is the last set of pencils to come along. pencils soluble in water to provide a viable alternative to watercolor. The pencil marks do a watercolor wash, as when they are brought into contact with water. This wash can then be manipulated with a brush.
These four types of pencils are the most basic and have been used by most artists drawing. Of course, pencils are not the only tools that can be used to shoot. drawing materials and tools will be discussed in future articles.
