We draw with an eraser on a pencil. How to learn to draw and why you need it
Have you ever thought that man is the only creature on the planet who is characterized by excitement? Only we are capable of betting the contents of our wallet and our own reputation on all sorts of nonsense, on the sheer will of chance. And often not even for the sake of the prospect of an unlikely win, but because of the intoxicating feeling of adrenaline in the blood. While some may think that risk is a noble thing, we advise you to stay away from all gambling and other dubious entertainment. But, if you really want to, you can amuse yourself and your friends with harmless bets that even a junior high school student can win. The main thing is to know a couple of secrets.
Do you like betting, magic tricks and a sense of your own intellectual superiority over your opponent? Congratulations: with this set you are on your way to the “What? Where? When?". Well, or, at worst, to the “Battle of Psychics.” But first, practice your resourcefulness and sleight of hand on harmless arguments that come from your school childhood. Invite your friends to bet that you can...
1. Erase a note with a pencil without an eraser
A task for a first grader, the solution to which not every adult would think of. Check it out on your friends. In reality, everything is simple. It’s not for nothing that people call an eraser an “eraser.” To replace it, simply take a rubber band, wrap it tightly around your finger and, with light pressure, easily erase any pencil mark from the paper.
2. Draw a perfect circle “by hand”
It’s unlikely that many of us at school loved tinkering with compasses. But to draw a passable circle without it, “by hand,” is completely on the verge of fantasy. Or not? Resourceful schoolchildren and students who often forget their stationery at home have come up with a life hack. You will need paper, a pen or pencil, and literally straight hands. For example, to draw a large circle, place your palm on a sheet of paper or notebook (in the position as in the photo below), fix the pen or pencil vertically and motionless. With your other hand, gently rotate the paper until you get a circle.
To draw a smaller circle, rest your palm on the paper with your bent little finger.
A small circle It will work if you simply fix the pen or pencil strictly vertically to a sheet of paper, holding it with your fingers closer to the rod.
3. Paper firecrackers
More precisely, from tea bags. Using scissors, carefully, so as not to damage the paper, cut off the thread with the label. Then bend the paper clip or carefully tear the place where the bag is held together. Pour the contents into another container.
For people who are involved in drawing, an eraser is simply a necessary tool. They can always correct or slightly correct inaccuracies in a sketch of a drawing. Well, there’s no need to talk much about this if you yourself have a good idea of the importance of an eraser for a person who draws. You've probably already heard about such an eraser as a nag. Well, if not, then let's see what a kneaded eraser is.
Nag for pumping
Is it worth saying that nag Is this a stationery item? You probably already understood this. And the fact that it serves to correct the drawing, lighten it and remove impurities from it, I also think, has already been guessed.
This is the same eraser as many other erasers that help the artist in drawing, which is called - eraser nag. What distinguishes kneading from other erasers is its soft, doughy texture.
The kneaded eraser is a special cleaning rubber that wrinkles easily and has high absorbent properties. When correcting a drawing with an eraser, the mark does not damage the paper, but captures graphite particles without smearing the drawing.
The nag was invented by a Czech company Koh-i-Noor» is the largest manufacturer of drawing materials.
In addition to the fact that the mark does not spoil the paper, you can also “pinch off” pieces from it to erase jewelry precision. You don’t have to “pinch” the nag, but simply sharpen it with your fingers to the desired erase width. This is very convenient, because many artists cut regular erasers into small strips in order to erase fine lines.
The eraser is capable of collecting dust, and therefore, it is advisable to store it wrapped in cellophane or similar material. Due to dust, the nag can fail very quickly. But if dust still sticks to it, then you can either carefully cut off the top layer or crush it like a piece of dough. Then the nag will be in service again.
By the way, you can also make nags yourself, from ordinary gray erasers. They are soaked in refined gasoline for two to three days, and then, after the gum swells, they are placed on a paper towel to remove the gasoline. After drying, the eraser needs to be boiled and it will become suitable for drawing as a knead.
Formoplast kneaded eraser
Found in stores formoplast nags. They are just as sticky and are capable of collecting pieces of graphite. But the difference between them and ordinary nags is that they cannot change shape. Essentially, a mold eraser is a piece of soft plastic. Formoplast nags are more durable and can be washed with water.

Here are a few steps to help you in this wonderful creative activity. Make sketches of what you draw, let it be a household item, a portrait, individual parts of the face: nose, lips, eyes, ears. Body parts: arms, legs, etc. It's okay to make mistakes at first, but the more you practice, the fewer mistakes you'll make in your drawings. Shade first with light lines, then darker, and even darker. Make sure that the transition from light to dark is smooth and gradual. Hard pencil - for thin and light lines, soft for brighter, clearer and bolder lines. Erasers also come in different types, some are only suitable for pencils, some are suitable for colored pencils and pens. Be sure to get the so-called “klyachka”, this eraser erases the pencil without smearing and does not spoil the paper. In addition, the nag is soft like plasticine, which allows you to sculpt thin shapes from it for more accurate erasing of lines. And don't forget to use different styles and techniques. Draw the same object with pencil, watercolor, markers, ink. In the end, your efforts will be rewarded and you will get a drawing that you want to frame and hang on the wall. With these tips you know how to learn to draw, but remember - you should do it with pleasure and enjoyment. This is the only way everything will work out!If you are just reading this article out of curiosity and have not thought about learning how to draw, then know that drawing is:
– this is an opportunity to create something of your own, unique in this diverse world. By drawing, you make the world even more diverse;
- This is an additional or main income. I believe that the ability to do something with your own hands will be valued at all times;
– you will meet interesting people who are just like you and are passionate about drawing;
– you will begin to understand art better;
– it’s incredibly cool, exciting and interesting!1. Draw what you lead and how you see
Remember the wonderful song by Alla Pugacheva, in which she sings “We all see the world a little differently, and when drawing, don’t forget about it.” Even if your image is far from the original, believe me, no one is born an artist, you need to learn it. Just draw as you see.
The Internet has made life much easier, many things have now become more accessible. There are many video tutorials on YouTube for both beginner and advanced artists. Often, lessons show not only drawing techniques, but also tell what materials to use. What pencils, paints, paper are better; what you should spend money on and where you can save money.3. Practice using different drawing styles and techniques
This is great if you've already mastered the technique of drawing with a pencil, but it's also a good idea to pick up a brush and paints, or try drawing with ink or markers. Try different types of shading, draw spirals, thin and thick lines. Draws everything and everyone!4. Draw without an eraser
It seems strange, especially for a beginner, to draw without an eraser. But this is very correct advice. When you make a mistake, a wrong line, and erase it, you can draw it incorrectly over and over again. And when you see your mistakes, it is easier to correct them. Draw thin auxiliary lines, make markings, and when the drawing is already visible, at the end of the work you can erase all unnecessary lines, and draw the drawing itself with clearer lines.5. Study shadows, lines, tones, textures
This step is a little more difficult because some of these skills are difficult to master. However, this is also an important step, so don't even think about skipping it.
Place an apple in front of you on a surface. Look from which side the light and shadow fall. Change the direction of the light source and watch how the position of the highlight on the apple and the position of the shadow changes.6. Use a variety of pencils and erasers
Pencils vary in hardness and softness. And they are designated by Latin letters: H - hard, B - soft, HB - medium, and the middle pencil is also designated by the letter F. The numbers next to the letters add hardness or softness. For example, H1 will be slightly harder than H, H2 will be even harder, and so will B1, B2, B3, and so on.7. Draw what you like
Of course, to learn how to draw well, you need to be able to capture different objects on paper, but choose what you like and bring it to perfection. This could be a photo of a loved one, or an actor, a photo of your cat, or a child. If you sketch one person in different poses and moods, you will notice how well your skill is honed.8. Study anatomy
Oh yes, many of us will have to remember the school curriculum and delve even deeper into biology and anatomy. No matter how creepy it may seem, you will have to draw skulls and skeletons, both without muscles and with muscles. You will have to study animal anatomy as well. Any book on drawing usually contains an anatomy section.
Even when you're not drawing, notice objects and imagine how you would draw them. Whether you are eating in public transport or standing in line, choose people and other objects around you and mentally outline them with an imaginary pencil. Pay attention to folds, curves and other features.10. Practice, practice and practice again
Not a day without drawing! Spend at least 5-15 minutes every day. It’s better to do a little bit every day than once a week for several hours at once. While drawing, you train your brain, visual memory and the movement of your hand. Long breaks between drawings are bad; you will simply forget what you have already learned. Any skill requires regular practice.
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, uniquely, 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. 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. 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 an 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.
