From soft pencils to graphite powder, ballpoint to fibre-tip pens,
conte sticks to watercolour pencils, this unique guide covers
everything you need to know to begin mastering and combining
different media in your drawing. This visual directory of drawing
techniques beyond the pencil provides you with the skills to
explore and experiment with all the different techniques and
mediums. Use it as a handy reference for when you want to know how
to use a particular tool, or as a catalogue of inspiration when
seeking new ideas to try. A wealth of media and equipment is
demonstrated, and each page features invaluable information for
beginners and accomplished artists alike. As the techniques
progress, you'll explore the creative possibilities beyond one
medium, and be encouraged to look at your work and style in a new
light. Use the examples shown to aid expression and skill
development and to look at the myriad possibilities of mixed media,
which have all been selected because of their compatibility. Start
with basic graphite pencils, sticks and powder to explore line and
tone, shading, creating textures and erasing. Then move on to
coloured pencils to cover techniques such as burnishing, lifting
and sgraffito. There are various interesting methods to try with
water-soluble coloured pencils too, including different ways of
applying water, blending and overlaying colours. Explore the
effects that you can create with charcoal or conte sticks on
different coloured and textured papers, and discover how to use
pastel pencils and chalks for expressive drawing. Then master
blending, shading and scumbling with hard and soft pastels, and
perfect your techniques with crayons, oil pastels and oil paint
sticks. There are some really interesting ways to use ink pens for
painting effects and instructions are included for cutting your own
quill pen. Ballpoint pens, fibre-tips, marker pens and brush pens
are also great tools for creating modern, graphic drawings - pick
up some handy tips for mark making and blending. Finally,
experiment with mixed media and combining various pencils, pastels,
crayons, powder, sticks and pens for some stunning results. Be
inspired by the huge range of drawings in this book to expand and
develop your own skills.
