Chapter 12Additional Media
Objectives
• Describe the difference between dry and wet drawing media.
• Experiment with new drawing media: charcoal on toned paper, Conté crayon, pen and ink, and brush and ink.
• Describe the materials needed for drawing with these media.
Media
• Dry media– Black and white charcoal on toned paper– Conté crayon
• Wet media– Waterproof or water-soluble ink– Pen and ink– Brush and ink
Charcoal on Toned Paper
• Use both black and white charcoal on toned paper.
• Use white charcoal to establish values lighter than the value of the paper.
Conté Crayon
• Smooth lines and rich, dark tones
• More difficult to erase than charcoal, so start with light pencil sketch
Pen and Ink: Materials
• Drawing or lettering nib—flexible
• Crow quill point—good for detail
• Technical pen—less flexible but good for location drawing
• Hot-press or plate finish paper
Pen and Ink: Techniques
• Build up lines to create different values.
Brush and Ink: Materials
• Watercolor (round) brush
• Watercolor paper
Brush and Ink: Techniques
• Full-strength ink, diluted ink, wet on wet
Summary (1 of 3)
• Dry media– Black and white charcoals, pencils, Conté
crayons.
• Wet media– Applied wet and dry on the paper, like ink
• Charcoal on toned paper– The paper is a middle value rather than value 1. – For values lighter than the paper's value, use
white charcoal.
Summary (2 of 3)
• Conté crayon comes in two colors plus black and white. – It's similar to charcoal, but is difficult to
erase or blend.
• Values in pen-and-ink drawing are made of a combination of lines.
• Drawing in ink with a brush yields fluid lines and soft gradations of tone.
Summary (3 of 3)
• Each medium requires its own tools and paper.
• Experiment with any new medium to learn its peculiarities before attempting a finished drawing.
