Pencil eraser. The nag is an indispensable tool for the artist

Drawing with an eraser. Everyone has long been accustomed to drawing with a pencil and erasing with an eraser. Many children will like to do the opposite - draw with an eraser and erase with a pencil. To do this, you will need to shade a sheet of paper with a simple pencil or, using a knife blade, chop up a little pencil lead and rub it over the sheet, for example, with a cotton pad. Eraser in hand and begin to draw a light picture on a dark shaded background. If something in the picture doesn’t suit us, we can erase it... with a pencil!

The eraser can be used for more than just removing mistakes. It is also a full-fledged drawing tool. The only difference is that the eraser is used to remove strokes, not to apply them. This technique is best suited for depicting contrasting subjects that contain both very dark and very light tones. An eraser is an excellent tool for creating highlights: the tip or sharp edge of the eraser can leave very small and precise marks.
The eraser can be used with equal success with all pencils (simple or colored), as well as with charcoal, pastels and crayons. Different erasers leave different marks. Some of them are only suitable for working with certain materials. Kneaded erasers can be shaped into different shapes and can be used to leave very precise, small marks of the required shape. But they get dirty quickly and are not suitable for working with pastels and charcoal. Vinyl and plastic erasers are harder and don't get dirty as quickly. They can be used when working with fragile materials. Use only plain or white erasers, as colored erasers may leave marks on white paper. When an eraser becomes dirty, it can be cleaned by either rubbing the dirty area on a white piece of paper or carefully cutting off the dirty edges with a sharp knife. The sharp, cut edges of the eraser can be used to draw straight lines, while the blunt end can be used to work on large areas of color or tone. If you erase some color or pigment with an eraser, be careful not to transfer this color to an area of ​​the drawing where it is completely unnecessary.
You can use masks together with the eraser. By erasing along the border of the mask, you can create both an even outline and an unusually shaped line. You can use not only purchased erasers, but also homemade ones: roll soft white bread into a ball and use it to clean white paper or lighten a certain tone.
Eraser-knead
A kneaded eraser can easily remove traces of graphite, but it is not suitable for working with fragile materials such as charcoal and pastel, as it gets dirty very quickly.

Usually they erase a drawing with an eraser, but we will draw with it!

An eraser is usually used to erase a drawing, but today we will draw with it. Although, to be precise, we will erase it, but it will create a drawing. How?

Materials:

• soft graphite pencil (on the body there should be either the letter “M” or “B”);
• eraser;
• markers;
• album sheets;
• sheets of writing paper.

Create a drawing with an eraser

First, let's prepare a landscape sheet and a pencil. It is better to use a soft pencil, so the work will be easier to complete and it will be more accurate.

We shade (paint over) the entire landscape sheet with a simple pencil, leaving no white spaces. We will do two jobs, so the sheet is cut into two halves.

In order for the graphite layer to cover the sheet evenly so that the work is neat, it needs to be shaded. To do this, take a small piece of paper (whatman paper or writing paper) and rub the graphite over the sheet with it so that the color becomes uniform and no strokes are visible. This leaf will be called shading.

On a separate sheet of paper, draw a simple linear drawing, for example, a cat with a butterfly. This will be a sketch. Looking at it makes it easier to do the work itself. The lines drawn on the sketch with a pencil are erased on the shaded sheet with an eraser. This technique is also convenient because it is easy to correct a mistake. If we used the eraser incorrectly, then we shade the sheet again, shade it, and again we can create as if there was no mistake.

Some lines can be drawn brighter with the same graphite pencil. This will make the drawing more expressive.

Our second sketch will be on the theme of the upcoming holiday - Easter.

Also looking at the sketch, we erase the drawing on the shaded sheet.

And now we draw on some lines not with a pencil, but with felt-tip pens for expressiveness, originality, and decorativeness.

The graphite from which the pencil core is made is smearable, so for greater durability of the work, it can be sprayed with hairspray. Just don’t overdo it so that the sheet doesn’t get wet through. After the varnish has dried, the graphite will no longer smudge. And you can even decorate with such a pattern

Drawing is a big and serious job for a child. Even scribbles contain very specific information and meaning for the little artist. A certain advantage of drawing compared to other types of activity is that this type of creativity requires the coordinated participation of many mental functions.

The famous teacher I. Disterweg believed: “The one who draws gets more in one hour than the one who just watches for nine hours.” Being directly related to the most important mental functions - vision, motor coordination, speech and thinking, drawing not only contributes to the development of each of these functions, but also connects them with each other, helps the child organize rapidly acquired knowledge, formulate and record a model of an increasingly complex idea of world.

What do you think the word unconventional might mean?

Non-traditional

 Not based on tradition.

 Occurring not due to established tradition, not arranged according to established custom. Characterized by originality.

 Not following traditions.

(Explanatory Dictionary of Efremova.TF.Efremova.2000.)

Synonyms individually, in a new way, extraordinary, unique, non-standard, non-trivial, original, in a new way, in its own way, original, independently, peculiarly, peculiarly.

(Synonym dictionary).

What is meant by the phrase “non-traditional drawing”

Unconventional drawing is the art of depicting without being based on tradition.

From a very early age, children try to reflect their impressions of the world around them in their visual arts. Drawing in unconventional ways is a fun, mesmerizing activity that surprises and delights children.

There are so many unnecessary interesting things at home (toothbrush, combs, foam rubber, corks, polystyrene foam, spool of thread, candles, etc.). Go out for a walk, take a closer look and see how many interesting things there are: sticks, cones, leaves, pebbles, plant seeds, dandelion fluff, thistle, poplar. Unusual materials and original techniques attract children because the word “No” is not present here, you can draw with whatever you want and how you want, and you can even come up with your own unusual technique. Children feel unforgettable, positive emotions, and by emotions one can judge the child’s mood, what makes him happy, what makes him sad.

Unconventional drawing is used at an early age so that the child draws quickly, because it is still difficult for him to show perseverance. And for older children, unconventional drawing is a way to express creativity. Since for an older child the result is already important, so that the drawing is bright, beautiful and reflects all the events. This is a huge opportunity for children to think, try, search, experiment, and most importantly, express themselves.

Conducting classes using non-traditional techniques

 Helps relieve children's fears;

 Develops self-confidence;

 Develops spatial thinking;

 Teaches children to freely express their ideas;

 Encourages children to creative searches and solutions;

 Teaches children to work with a variety of materials;

 Develops a sense of composition, rhythm, color, color perception, feeling

texture and volume;

 Develops fine motor skills of the hands;

 Develops creativity, imagination and flight of fancy.

 While working, children receive aesthetic pleasure.

There are many non-traditional drawing techniques; their unusualness lies in the fact that they allow children to quickly achieve the desired result. For example, what child would not be interested in drawing with his fingers, making a drawing with his own palm, putting blots on paper and getting a funny drawing.

The child loves to quickly achieve results in his work. It is recommended to use with children of primary preschool age

 finger painting;

 imprint with potato stamps;

 drawing with palms;

 tamping.

Children of middle preschool age can be introduced to more complex

technicians

 poke with a hard semi-dry brush.

 foam rubber printing;

 printing with corks;

 wax crayons + watercolor;

 candle + watercolor;

 leaf prints;

 palm drawings;

 drawing with cotton swabs;

 magic ropes.

And in older preschool age, children can master even more difficult methods and techniques.

 sand painting;

 drawing with soap bubbles;

 drawing with crumpled paper;  blotography with a tube;

 landscape monotype;

 stencil printing;

 subject monotype;

 ordinary blotography;

 plasticineography.

Each of these techniques is a little game. Their use allows children to feel more relaxed, bolder, more spontaneous, develops imagination, and gives complete freedom for self-expression.

Today I want to introduce you to another type of unconventional drawing. This is drawing with an eraser. The eraser can be used for more than just removing mistakes. It is also a full-fledged drawing tool. The only difference is that the eraser is used to remove strokes, not to apply them. This technique is best suited for depicting contrasting subjects that contain both very dark and very light tones.

The eraser can be used with equal success with all pencils (simple or colored), as well as with charcoal, pastels and crayons. Different erasers leave different marks. Some of them are only suitable for working with certain materials. Vinyl and plastic erasers are harder and don't get dirty as quickly. They can be used when working with fragile materials. Use only plain or white erasers, as colored erasers may leave marks on white paper. When an eraser becomes dirty, it can be cleaned by either rubbing the dirty area on a white piece of paper or carefully cutting off the dirty edges with a sharp knife. The sharp, cut edges of the eraser can be used to draw straight lines, while the blunt end can be used to work on large areas of color or tone. If you erase some color or pigment with an eraser, be careful not to transfer this color to an area of ​​the drawing where it is completely unnecessary. I suggest drawing a chamomile field. Use a simple pencil to shade the entire leaf, then take an eraser, mark the middle of the flower and erase the petals with the eraser. And so we draw a whole bouquet, when you have finished drawing with an eraser, you can paint the yellow center and green leaves of the daisy.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION

This article will focus on drawing with a pencil. If you want to learn how to draw, but can't get started, now is the time to start learning. Take a sheet of paper, a pencil and try it :) Let's start with drawing techniques.

Pencil drawing technique

There are two main drawing techniques - shading and pencil shading.

Hatching

Using strokes (short lines) you can very successfully convey the tone of an object. Depending on the number of strokes drawn, you can get different levels of tone saturation (the fewer strokes, the lighter the tone, the more strokes, the darker). By the direction of the strokes you can convey the texture of the surface of the figure. For example, horizontal strokes will convey the surface of the water well, and vertical strokes will convey the grass.

Basically, shading is done with short, straight strokes with approximately the same distance between them. The strokes are applied to the paper with a pencil torn off. First, one thin line is made, then the pencil returns to the starting line, and in this way all other strokes are applied.

Cross hatching can be used to enhance the depth of tone. For example, horizontal shading is applied to the oblique shading, darkening the tone, then on what came out, you can apply oblique shading in the opposite direction to the first - this will darken it even more. The darkest in this case will be the tone where shading in all directions is combined.

Feathering

Shading is one of the main techniques that can be used when drawing for beginning artists. Using gradation of tone, you can add volume to your figure. In general, shading is a special case of shading. After applying the strokes, using the properties of pencil graphite and a special shading tool, they are shaded (smeared) until a uniform tone is obtained.

However, the implementation of shading itself has a number of features.

1. Shading of strokes must be done along the strokes, but not across. By shading along the strokes, you will achieve a more natural toning.
2. For shading, not only simple shading is used, but also zigzag strokes.

With the help of such techniques, you can depict anything on paper.

10 common mistakes that beginners make

Most people who like to draw take their first steps on their own. And even if it's just a hobby, they still make various sketches. We want to write about 10 possible mistakes that all beginning artists probably encounter.

1. Wrong pencil

If your shadows aren't coming out well, check the markings on your pencil. Most likely it is too hard. It is recommended to draw shadows with pencils marked B, 2B and 4B, but not HB.

2. Drawing from photographs

Every artist begins to draw from photographs. But very often photographs do not convey enough facial features for a good drawing. When a person's face is positioned from the front, it will be difficult to correctly model their face on paper, since the perspective from behind the head disappears. Try taking a photo where the person's head is tilted slightly to the side. This way the portrait will be more realistic and have better shadows.

3. Wrong basic proportions

Very often people begin to immediately pay attention to details, drawing them completely without sketching the entire drawing. This is wrong because you are not planning the correct proportions in advance. First, it is advisable to sketch out the entire drawing, and only then draw in detail the details.

4. Crooked features

We are used to looking at a person directly and aligning them when drawing. As a result, the portrait comes out quite distorted. When drawing complex objects, first try to outline guidelines along which it will be easier to build the drawing later.

5. Drawing of animals

Usually we look down at our animal. This makes the head seem larger to us than the whole body, and normal proportionality is lost. Try to distract the animal so that it turns its muzzle to the side, then the drawing will come out more truthful.

6. Strokes

If you draw each hair or blade of grass separately, the drawing will come out disgusting. Try to make sharp sketches, going from dark to light.

7. Trees

Do not try to draw trees, flowers, and leaves with the correct shapes. Use outlines and penumbra for realism.

8. Wrong paper

Before you buy paper, test it on a sample piece of something light. The paper may be too smooth and the design will be faded. Also, the paper may be too stiff and the design will be quite flat.

9. Volume

When conveying volume, try not to use clear lines for the edges. They can be outlined by light lines of different tones.

10. Shadows

Very often it is not possible to apply shadows evenly. Try to use the full color range of the pencil, going from lightest to darkest. If you are afraid to overdo it with the dark, put a piece of paper under the edge, and all the black will be on it.

At first it may seem that pencil drawings are too ordinary and dull. But with the help of a pencil you can convey a huge amount of emotions.
