Drawing with the right tools

P A R T 1

Here is my guide to drawing with the right tools. I hope you all will find it helpful. I think this will be in parts. This is part 1.

The Outline
When you are drawing, you want to be able to erase. (I'll cover erasers in Part 2) You normally use pencil. That is a good idea! But if your scanner is horrible (like mine) or you want to make your picture neat and clean you should trace the pencil with ink.
In the beggining, in order to get used to the whole tracing thing. I used a cheap black pen that you can find just about anywhere. It is more like a pencil than marker.
Well, if you have ever drawn with them you know that they erase some. That would only be a beginner's tool.Recently I have started using a fine point pen that is like a very thin marker. The one that works the best is probably the PRECISE V5. Extra fine. Rolling ball. It's from the company of Pilot. (I'm actually looking at my pen as I am typing this.
The pen has a metal tip and a few small holes to let ink out. It is easy to use and draws a thin line.
My guidebook that I bought at Barnes and Nobles suggests:
RotringFaber-Castekk
TGI-SStaedtler Marsmatic 700
Sakura Micron Pigma
Copic Multiliner
Pilot drawing pen

So that ends my ink section. Read Part 2 for how to erase pencil under pen and how to erase just pencil.

P A R T 2

Here is Part 2 of my whole drawing tips thing. This will cover erasing.Erasing Plain Pencil
I bet a lot of you out there have bad days with drawing. So you end up erasing like crazy. By the end you have no idea where your lines are. While tracing it over with pen helps really erasing works better. (See part one for pen tips)
Some of you like cheap art supplies and some like expensive ones. Well, cheap is always better if it has good quality! If you go to Staples or CVS you will see tons of erasers. Do not pick the pencil caps or tiny ones, you'll be getting a hand cramp. Stay clear from the pink ones. Use white. From my experiences and from reading a bunch of books about drawing, I know that white is better. However, an eraser can only do so many things. If you dig into the paper, that's it. I suggest drawing lightly. Your hard lines should be drawn when you are certain that you want that line there. I don't suggest using hard lines though.
Okay, so you've perfected your drawing in pencil. Now it's time to trace with pen. But when you are done, you have pencil lines.
WARNING: Wait until the pen has fully dried and then you may erase. It makes sure that it doesn't smear.
WARNING: When drawing, do not brush eraser shavings with your hand! It will smear the pencil and what used to be a white paper will turn a shade darker. Either blow the shavings away, shake the paper out, or use a soft thing to brush them away (a small unused paint brush works very nicely.)
There you have it! I'm not sure what part 3 will be about but you've got to wait a little for that. If I get a lot of viewers I'll put this under my devinations.
