ART

Drawing is a skill and like any skill there are those who have talent at it, but it also can be learned through practice like in playing a sport.

Because learning to see is part of drawing, the key to learning to draw is drawing what you see.

For this some things must be known:

• perspective• juxtapossition,• concavity,• proportion, • focal point,• symmetry.Certainly some people have very good memories and can draw without looking at their subject matter, but they have also most likely been practicing for a long time to be able to do that.

Ink Drawing

Ink drawing has been very popular all throughout time.It was used by ancient Egyptians ,Greeks ,Chinese,Japanese, and Koreans.Several things are important when drawing with ink:• Time Type of Paper• Brushes • Diluted ink

TIME

Ink drawing must be done slowly. The errors sometimes can be difficult to fix and certain details need to be done in a delicate way.

BRUSHESObviously each type of brush will create a different type of line which can be thick or thin.Some big areas can be done with big brushes while small areas can be done with small brushes.In certain drawings the white area can be as important as the marks done with ink.

INK• At least three tones of ink should be used in these

drawings to give reality,depth and proportion.• Pure ink must be diluted in different quantities of

water in order to create different tones.There should be light,medium and dark tones.

PAPERThere are different types of paper that can be used for ink drawings: watercolor paper,illustrated board,papyrus,japanese paper,or hand made paper.Some can create a nice effect on the drawing,much better than just bond paper.
