Hello Dear Steemians,
As I have been active in the World of Xpilar community for a long time, my desire to paint increased as I saw the works of the artists here. The last time I drew in primary school, I was interested in painting at that time, but as I got caught up in the flow of school, business life, etc., I stopped painting. I mean, I haven't been drawing in any way for almost 15 16 years.
As I spent time at WOX, I wanted to start drawing again. However, since I haven't been drawing for years, I didn't have any materials for drawing. First of all, I wanted to start watercolor drawings. I watched watercolor beginner tutorials on youtube. But for watercolor, a sketch had to be drawn first. In the face of this situation, I wanted to increase my drawing skills with charcoal before starting watercolor. Then, if I can be successful in drawing, I may consider switching to watercolor accordingly.
I did some research on the internet to start charcoal drawing. For this, I knew first of all that I needed a lead pencil and a sketchbook. When I looked at what else I could buy as an extra, I saw that paperstump and kneadable art eraser were also useful in drawings. Of course, I am aware of the skill and work that is important for a good drawing, but the auxiliary elements will make the work easier.
I was going to buy these elements separately, but while researching on the internet, I saw that they were sold as a set. It was more affordable to buy as a set, so I bought the starter set. There are 6 pencils in the set. The pencil set consisted of hb, 2b, 3b, 4b, 5b and 6b pencils.
Another element in the set was paperstumpt. I have never used this product before, which is used to make shadows and tones in pencil drawings. In fact, cotton swab can be used instead of paperstumpt. However, I wanted to buy this product as I was going to shop.
Kneadable art eraser, pencil sharpener and eraser were also the last items in the set. I guess I don't need to explain the eraser and pencil sharpener. I want to talk about kneadable art eraser here. This eraser does not leave eraser dust like classical erasers, and even the smallest points can be erased by shaping it as desired. In addition, it is a long-lasting product as it does not leave eraser dust.
Now it's time to practice a lot as I have completed my missing items. Since I haven't picked up a pen for many years, the things I draw now are quite inadequate. I think it's too early to share it with you yet. Seeing the support given by dear @stef1 to the artists here, I was also encouraged and I hope I can find the opportunity to share my drawings with you as soon as possible.
Thank you for reading my post ☺️
