We will describe the 2 types of drawing as either flat drawing or line drawing. If you’re familiar with both types of drawing, the two types of drawing are not necessarily different. The two are only slightly different in the types of materials you will be drawing. Flat drawing is drawn with the edges pointed […]
A: It’s a pencil with a pointed tip that you can draw on. The bottom edge just looks like a regular line, and the tip on the top is for the eye. It’s super simple. PJ: That’s a really awesome answer right there! So I’ll leave you with a question for you: would you mind […]
Yes, you can! Yes, you can! The answer is YES – in a flash! Here’s how: First, take a good dry piece of graphite pencil. (And do this right away.) Then you are going to take the pencil, and start writing with it. If you use your finger, or use your fingernail, the pencil will […]
Paint your own. The one thing you learn about an artist is that they don’t take themselves too seriously, and they have a very interesting side to them. I think, I do, because I also have an offhand remark about how I think art does something, and I call it creative. I think art does […]
Most of the drawing exercises on this site provide illustrations or models on the paper so you can use those to practice your drawing skills.

You’re asking what sketching is and the answer is not complicated, actually. It is the act of making a drawing by cutting something from one layer of plastic to another. Why do we need to do a computer generated design rather than some simple sketch? You just have to be able to put the parts […]
You see it in the air with the sun? This pencil has a very delicate curve. When it touches your paper it’s called drawing on the line so I draw it with a very very little curve, maybe one or two lines. But it’s very delicate. Then you take it out and you touch it […]
It’s so common to ask. The answer is quite simple: we’ve always done it. When we were little kids, if you asked to have a picture done, we would do it. We would stick our fingers in a balloon and draw it. We made maps, we would draw on the ground, we would draw on […]
Yes. There are several different types of mechanical pencils out there. There are fountain pen (including vintage) and mechanical pencil (the modern type) in between. Most pencils are made of metal—a metal core, pencil sleeve and/or nib. There are plastic pencils (and other types of pencils) that are made of plastic materials or some form […]
