Pen Drawing Process

My pen drawings were very simple drawings to create. I used some techniques such as applying less pressure to create thinner lines. My pen drawings (the wasp, the butterfly and the beetle) all turned out very well. I think this is because the bolder line in comparison to the pen looks a lot. In addition to this, the pen is far easier to use than pencil, It is simply drawing and there are not as much techniques of applying it such as using a pencil. The pen samples are all line drawings besides the wasp which I attempted to shade with. This was a good idea for me, as it shows that pen can also work just as well as pencil when applying shade/tone. The only drawback I could find when using pen was the fact that they can not be erased.

Pencil Drawing Process

The process of drawing my pencil samples was fairly complicated. A vast majority of my pencil samples all required rubber and fingers to create a smudging effect to make a flat grey body. Some of my samples are line samples which I used the tip of the pencil to create rather than the side which I used in some of my other samples to draw on a larger surface area faster. I believe my most successful sample is the wasp. It worked incredibly well from the bold detail in the body due to the lower half being shaded well, to the strong black coloured eyes. In my opinion I prefer pencil to pen but I do like both and I have shown that they can be used in a number of ways.
