Pen and Ink Drawing
Practice Exercise:
Drawing Count Von Roo
Artists may use a pen and ink in drawing.
Permanency of the ink is its strength as well
as its weakness.
In using a pen and ink, one has to be very
precise with the strokes because unlike
pencils where you can make erasures, ink is
permanent.
These drawings will last for many years to
come.
Drawings in ink are darker than the ones done
with pencils hence ink drawings look more
attractive to the eyes.
One cannot use the ink for outline or rough
sketch of a drawing because of its permanent
and dark nature.
Step1: Draw one big circle
for count Von Roo’s head
and three small circles for
the ears and the nose. Draw
the cross lines for the face
and the outline of his cape.
Draw the curve lines of the
ears, cheeks and nose.
Lastly, draw the outline of
his right arm.
