From the Publisher

Learn a variety of strokes and effects

Strokes

Above are five different stroke techniques you'll use throughout the book: hatching, crosshatching, tapering, circular/scumbling, and blurring.

Blending

Each strip is identical layers of crimson lake and indanthrone blue, applied more heavily at the left and transitioning to a thin wash at the right. Note the increase in color saturation when either a colorless blender (line 2) or solvent (line 3) is used, but also note that they can’t work as well when the pigment is thin.

Impressed Lines

Impressing lines into your paper with a stylus before you begin drawing puts the indentations out of reach of pencil points. As you draw over them, they remain white. This is useful for depicting whiskers, single-hair highlights, distant twigs, and more.

Exercise: Aged Wood

Step 1

Begin with somewhat dull mineral orange and medium pressure to plan the areas of the knots and newer wood. Bring some streaks into the old wood area.

Step 2

Use somewhat dull French gray 30% and medium pressure to fill the areas of the old wood. Overlap into the mineral orange a little, and bring some streaks into the new wood area; they will be hard to see.

Step 3

With sharp French gray 70% and medium pressure, add long, uneven, jagged lines in the direction of the wood grain in the old wood area. Do the same with Tuscan red in the newer wood area, and start to indicate streaks and the inside perimeter of the knots.

Step 4

Use a colorless blender to somewhat smooth the newer wood. Then, with very sharp dark umber and heavy pressure, create large cracks and nail holes throughout. Keep the pencil very sharp and use medium pressure to make tapered strokes for the lesser cracks, including the cracks in the knots and grain lines throughout. Flow lines and cracks around the knots. With very sharp Tuscan red and heavy pressure, draw some grain lines in the newer wood. Finish by adding a few strokes of both Tuscan red and mineral orange with medium pressure in the old wood to suggest that it’s splintering off, and make a few little marks across the grain with dark umber.
