CRAYONS

day. They have invented a coloring stick for children
named crayons. Crayon is a French word which means
pencils. Alice Stead Binney, wife of Edwin, named the
Crayons Crayola and became its popular brand.
Crayola is a combination of French words craie (chalk)
and oleaginous (oily). Crayola is a non-toxic crayons

DRAWING TOOLS
Chalk- is a powdery drawing tool made from naturally occurring minerals. Often, manufacturers add other pigments to create colors
besides red, white and black. Chalk is a suitable tool for blending and shading and works on many surfaces. It's easily transferable
among surfaces.
Charcoal - is a crumbly black material made of carbon. In art, it's often sold in sticks or pencils. It's an excellent tool for shading and
blending because it's easily smudged.
Colored pencils - are wood shells with wax or oil pigmented centers. They come in a variety of colors and hues. Unlike other
materials, they're less like to smudge but still blend easily.
Wax crayons-add color to drawings in a non-transferable way. Because of their construction, crayons are less likely to transfer
surfaces, but are also more difficult to use for blending and shading.
Graphite- is a metallic gray powder that comes in pencils and sticks. It's often used for line drawing, blending and shading. Like
other tools, it may transfer among surfaces.
Ink- a liquid pigmentation, usually fills pens and markers for drawing. With additives, ink may come in a variety of colors and
consistencies. Ink may help in line drawing and blending. It's transferable when wet.
Pastels-are sticks of powdered pigment made from oil or water-based materials. They're excellent for blending but can transfer to
other surfaces.

Caricature drawing
Caricature drawings are images that
depict their subjects in oversimplified or
overdramatized manners. Some
hallmarks of caricatures may include
enlarging or shrinking someone's facial
features or personifying an object.
Artists may use caricature in animation,
advertising or graphic design.
Different types of drawing styles
Perspective drawing
Artists use perspective drawing, also known as 3D or
anamorphic drawing, to create three-dimensional images in a
two-dimensional space, such as on paper. Those who use
this type of drawing pay attention to distance, space, light,
volume, surface and scale to determine how each object
relates to one another. Two types of perspective drawing
include:
Aerial perspective: Focuses on shading, tone and color
aspects of perspective
Linear perspective: Focuses on the organization of
shapes within a space
Different types of drawing styles
engineering drawing
An engineering drawing is a type of technical
drawing that is used to convey information about
an object. A common use is to specify the
geometry necessary for the construction of a
component and is called a detail drawing.
Usually, a number of drawings are necessary to
completely specify even a simple component.
Different types of drawing styles
Manga
Manga are comics or graphic novels originating
from Japan. Most manga conform to a style
developed in Japan in the late 19th century, and
the form has a long history in earlier Japanese
art. The term manga is used in Japan to refer to
both comics and cartooning.
Different types of drawing styles
Gesture drawing
A gesture drawing is a laying in of the action,
form, and pose of a model/figure. Typical
situations involve an artist drawing a series of
poses taken by a model in a short amount of
time, often as little as 10 seconds, or as long as 5
minutes.
Different types of drawing styles

the contours of a subject, without rendering too
many details.
Different types of drawing styles
Scratchboard
drawing Scratchboard drawing, also known as
scraperboard drawing, uses a cardboard sheet
coated with a thin layer of clay and India ink.
Artists use a sharp tool, sometimes called a
scratchboard nib, to carve through the ink and
reveal the clay. The more lines they make, the
brighter the picture becomes. Scratchboard
drawings can be very detailed and may even
resemble wood engravings sometimes.
