different types of drawings
Types of Drawing. By far the largest number of art drawings in the Western world deal with the human figure. Portraits Portrait drawings typically involve the pure profile and the three-quarter profile. Examples include 15th-century portraits by Pisanello or Jan van Eyck, as well as Durer's drawing of the emperor Maximilian.
By Material: Drawing with graphite is very different than liquid ink for instance. So you might say, Dry media> Graphite, Charcoal, Pastel, Marker vs. Wet Media> Ink, Watercolor, even diluted Oils and Acrylics. By Technical Approach: Drawing can be Linear or Tonal - drawing contour lines vs. filling color shapes.
Granulated and softer drawing implements, such as chalk, charcoal, and graphite are not as dependent on a particular type of paper (as, watercolours, pastels or pen and ink); but, because of their slight adhesiveness, they often need a stronger bond with the foundation as well as some kind of surface protection.
