HOW TO DRAW
Drawing is not difficult and anyone can learn it. And on top of that, it is a fun way to do things together.
HOW TO DRAW ?
WITH CHARCOAL AND PENCIL
Charcoal and pencil drawing can be roughly divided into two main types: additive drawing and subtractive drawing techniques.
These techniques can and are often used interchangeably. In other words, they are not mutually exclusive, but rather models of technique. Although there are schools of thought that subtractive techniques are not proper drawing, in subtractive techniques pigment is removed from the surface. This is called in layman's terms erasing.
Pencil drawing techniques could be considered an additive technique. In basic principle, the shape drawn with pencil is created on the paper surface by drawing thin layers crosswise and one above the other until the desired value is achieved. (This is a drawing style common especially in realism drawing.) The color is not spread or erased, but shades are gradually added to the surface from which the whole is formed. In this technique, the handling of the pencil plays an important role. It is important that the tip of the pen is long and sharp and the way you hold the pen in your hand plays a particularly important role. In the additive technique, the removal of the eraser or pigment plays a very minor role. Or it is not used at all.
However, I am not going to delve into the correctness of drawing or otherwise focus on how to draw a picture on paper. I am just going to give a clear example of how you can also create pictures on paper. This technique is based on a line and especially on drawing a line and a dot. And it is an additive drawing technique. Which you can try with a pencil or a marker or even a colored pencil.
The basic principles of additive drawing techniques are the same in tessellation (even the terminology is the same). Hatching, Cross Hatching, scribbling and stippling.
HOW TO DRAW WIHT INK?

INKING
Charcoal and pencil drawing techniques have the same terminology as ink drawing techniques. The only difference is that the ink is permanent and pensil can be erased.
In this section, I will go through basic ink drawing or painting techniques using principles of ink drawing . Ink is liquid and can be used to paint to draw and it can pe deluded like watercolour. There are also different brush pens available that can be used to bring life to a line. The more familiar term for drawing techniques is also used as a starting point.
Here is a very concrete example of drawing and markmaking. I tried to make the example as simple and easy as possible, which is easy to start with. The principle of using auxiliary lines or fixed points is the same. Think about what you want to draw and what the structure of the object is. What parts the whole is built from. In this example you can see how small changes have a big impact. It is easy to simply get a different impression from the same thing.
STIPPLING HATCHING AND CROSS HATCHING
Hatching and Cross Hatching is a drawing technique not only used for ink drawing but is also commonly used in other drawing media. It is a form of drawing in which an image is created using lines. Stippling simply means constructing the shape by using dots.
I demonstrate techniques using a simple cherry blossom. By combining different marks, the image becomes completely different. Try different drawing techniques and combine them and see how the same simple line drawing changes.
I recommend reading the Finnish page VINKKEJÄ using Google Translate, as it contains more detailed information about drawing, character design, and making your own comic strip.
