SKETCHING

“Drawing is not what one sees but what one can make others see.” It is vision on paper.Drawing is a creative and enjoyable hobby and there is no doubt about it.

Pencil drawing is one of the pillars of painting .The advantage of a pencil,unlike other drawing and painting tools is the ability to erase .It is truly said that, ‘if not to correct mistakes, then what is an eraser discovered for?’

Some tools used in sketching are:

•Drawing pencils and soft art erasers

•Paper sheet brands for drawing and sketching

•Rulers and sharpeners types

•Blending stumps and tools

•Fixative for a finished drawing or a sketch

Standard drawing pencils:

Pencils come in varying brightness values where HB is the standard value.

▪︎The H stands for hardness and indicates how hard and light the pencil is.

▪︎The B value stands for blackness and indicates how soft and dark the pencil is.

▪The lighter grades will begin with the H values until HB and then,the B group for the dark levels.

Confidence is a pencil best sharpened with paper.It is no surprise that so many people love to draw.

All the above posted drawings were drawn by me and I would keep their rights.

I am having this passion since childhood and by the time I’ve tried to improve myself. Behind each drawing there are many torn sheets gone waste. I have always learnt a new thing each time I commit a mistake. There are many who are so passioned towards drawings and sketches. However with many other creative pursuits,it is easy to run out of ideas! Added to that, drawing doesn’t come like magic ! It takes practice and lots of it. Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

A pencil and a dream can take you anywhere.”
