What Is Drawing | Professional Practise
A definition of drawing is “sketch (a figure, picture, etc.)with a pencil or pen” and “picture or plan made by means of lines on a surface; art of making drawings”. (Colins English Dictionary, 2004)
My thought of drawing is in the same way as basic and improving skills with pencil by hand. Observational sketches, outline drawings and also delicate details, with basic hard media tools such as pen, pencil, charcoal, graphite, etc as well as some doodle drawing, a loosely imaginative sketch. An illustrator like myself, would draw for their own purpose such as pleasure, to please viewers, communicate, experiment and to give of expression.
Here follows some example of artists’/illustrators’ drawings (my inspiration list)
Furry Little Peach (aka Sha’an D’Anthes) sketches all kind of animals, mostly, in a soft watery style.
She sketched many as rough ideas for her main artwork, like the stingray sketch. She also doodles out of pleasure and expresses the beauty of wild animals I believe.
Harriet Gray’s (aka Hello Harriet) artworks are delicate and detailed drawings. Also she draws pets such as cats, dogs, rabbits, and some British woodland animals such as foxes. The drawing media mostly uses is pencil.
Mona Stenseth (Emmeselle) does pencil drawings for a base then watercolours. Her drawings are perfection, just like the real objects.
When I do drawings, I draw nature (mostly British), landscape, woodland animals and lots of birds. Mostly I do sketches from observation, I also look at images and videos (in slow motion). My preferred basic media are fine line pens and pencils, the medias are inks, water paints, acrylics, soft pastels and colour pencils. I use any materials to draw on that I like in many different textures for instance, cardboard, fabric, tissue paper and especially glass, and so on.
I do many experiments and trials, with all of my projects.
I draw for entertainment, improving drawings and to express nature.
