Drawing mediums which you might find better suited to you.
Charcoal
A great drawing medium
where you can use a variety of marks, you can buy charcoal in various
sizes and thicknesses, its great for blending on the paper creating a
beautiful soft edge. Split a stick of charcoal into bits and you have
various points to draw a fine line with if needed.
 Pen and ink
Pen and ink which is best used with a quill or stick pen, you can really feel the
grip with these sort of pens which are quite different than the ordinary ball point pen which runs across the paper like a skate on ice.
 Coloured pencils
There are various makes of coloured pencils, Othello and Derwent
to name two and which are great for adding colour. The main attribute with
coloured pencils is that you can show form like you can with ordinary pencils
by following the form with your pencil strokes.
 Crayons
Many a fine work has been done using crayons and they add a totally different quality to any drawing with there waxy coating but are pretty hard to blend so really you can only blend them by juxtaposing colours next to each other.
 Coloured markers
These markers come in a variety of thicknesses from slim stick markers to really fat ones and give a variety of line by turning them on there side for a thicker line. There are other accessories to aid drawing like tortillions for blending graphite, putty rubbers which are similar to blue tac
only a bit softer make a great rubber, but here we are mainly concerned with the actual drawing with the pencil and the less use of a rubber the better.
These are the most common drawing materials in everyday use, there are
other less or maybe not less used materials like conte crayon, graphite,
ordinary pens, pastel pencils among others and the thing here is never
be afraid to try different materials you might be surprised what effect
you can attain.
