Video: Drawing a cartoon.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this postThis is a video of me drawing the cartoon you can see and read about in this post. I use a variety of pens and nothing close to archival supplies in any sense. My goal in this cartoon is not art that will be framed and preserved, but as an online image. So, I mix and match permanent, gel-based, and pigment pens. I'm drawing on cheap sketchbook paper.

Sketch 2: Berlin horse statue.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 1 comments link this postHere's another grainy and low-quality video -- my specialty! -- for you to watch if you're interested in drawing. It's similar to the previous video in materials used, etc.

Sketch 1: Prague street scene
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 3 comments link this postThere's no shortage of videos on YouTube that show people sketching. The one I made (rather quickly and crudely) yesterday certainly isn't among the best. However, I always found it fascinating to watch artists draw; I learned a lot about technique and got new ideas just watching them set up a sketch and how they handled the materials.
In the video below (which has no sound), I'm sitting on my bed drawing from a photograph I took when I was in Prague about 15 years ago. You can see it's a new sketchbook, one I purchased recently when I realized my "sketching for fun and learning" had dwindled to nothing and was replaced by "sketching for projects only." I'm using a black "pencil" by Lyra, called a Ferby, which is similar to sketching with a grease crayon or litho pencil. Drawing with a litho pencil is an ideal experience, I've always thought, but the Ferby is the next best thing, much softer than a regular colored pencil but without the excessive greasiness of a litho pencil.
Anyway, here you go.

Powdered graphite drawing.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this postIntroducing powdered graphite into your drawings will help bring your art to a new level. Powdered graphite allows you to turn drawing into a subtractive art as well as still using the additive methods of pencil drawing.
