In a previous post, I told you about the craft of drawing. Today I would like to show you some of the many tools, materials, and supports you can use to draw depending, of course, on your interest.

We must add here, the computers, tablets and the different software currently available to draw.

Let's take a quick tour of the different drawing techniques and their respective tools and materials.

Supports

You can use an innumerable amount of varied media, there are practically no limits. You can draw on rock, wood, paper, walls, fabric, plastic, cardboard, canvas etc, etc. so here I will limit myself to considering only paper as a support for drawing.

Pencils

Graphite lead pencils in several formats such as bars, sticks, wooden pencils, etc.

Samples using graphite lead pencils.

Chalks and charcoals

Other materials to draw are chalks and charcoals, wooden charcoal pencils, a blend of graphite and charcoal, compressed chalk or compressed charcoal, vine charcoal sticks, sanguine pencils, and sepia pencils.

Samples using chalks or charcoals.

Mechanical pencils

Mechanical pencils, compasses, rulers, and squares are suitable for more technical drawings.

Sample

There is more, but I will stop here today.
I have started this series of posts dedicated to drawing, with the aim of sharing with you techniques, "secrets", tricks, tips, and curiosities, to teach you how to draw whatever you want, using the technique you want.
The road is long but full of beautiful things if you want to learn what I have learned from other artists and draftsmen.
Let me know if you find this interesting because, after the introductory stage, I will start with the practice where I will show you interesting techniques to draw anything you want.
