The character of line is the quality of thick and thin, or sharpness of edge of a line.
A sable brush (often used in comic books) give the artist the options of widely varying thickness within a single line. A big crumbly pencil can give a strong craggly character to a line. Compare Calvin and Hobbes to The Rocketeer.
it is called copying
With a pencil. Maybe a pen, but then you can't erase it if you make a mistake... So I would probably recommend using a pencil, yeah.
Draw an oval that is longer than it is wide, then add triangle for fins and tail then close to where you draw the eyes and mouth, but not to close draw three curved lines for the gills
oblique
What is the definition of blind contour drawing?
A blind contour drawing is done by not looking at the paper and observing only the subject that they are drawing. Once the piece is finished then the artist may look at their work.
What is it called when you make the first letter of a chapter art?
Illumination is the art of drawing and decorating the first letter of a manuscript. The Book of Kells is an incredible example of the art.

Where to shade exactly to make a lifelike Anime drawing?
In all drawings, the placement of shadow and shading are the primary difference between line drawings and life-like or 3 dimensional drawings.
To understand where the shading goes your first step is to establish the direction and intensity of your light source.
Bright daylight outdoors is reflected from most surfaces and the shading on your character is light and subtle.
Single source faint light, like a candle on a table next to your character highlights the prominent edges of the figure, while leaving the larger portion in deeper shadow.
To become better at this, a bit of exercise work will help to "train" your brain to think of light source and shadow.
Use a sketchbook and draw a dozen or so simple geometric shapes. Make them big enough to get some real work done and set them far enough apart that you have space for cast shadows and notes.
I usually have students draw circles, as spheres are easy to work with, and complex enough that you learn how light works on the surface.
In the beginning it is easiest to work with a physical subject so get yourself something spherical, a ball, a Christmas ornament or the like. Now get a single light source, a desk lamp or even a flash light will do.
On the first circle of the exercise, place the light source directly over the subject and take a moment to observe how the intensity of the light varies as it moves away from the source.
Your light source should be at 90 degrees from the center of your sphere, between 6 inches to 1 foot from the subject.
Look carefully at the cast shadow, and the darkest shade of the subject.
Now shade your circle to match what you see. I recommend you use soft pencils, or charcoal as a beginning as you do not want to complicate the issue with color.
Blend your shade carefully and remember you can use a kneaded eraser to lift some of the graphite or charcoal off and create points of highlight.
Repeat this exercise several times until you understand how the light, shading and shadow work together to create the look of three dimensions.
This might be a good time to look carefully at the reflected light. There are spots in the deepest shade where light has reflected off of the ground and lightened the shade. Work at duplicating this effect on your sketch pad.
Once you are comfortable with your light source directly above, move the light to a different place, directly to the right of the subject, and repeat the observation and practice as you did with the first one.
When you have shaded enough circles with your light source in various places, all on the 90 degree plane, start moving the light source slightly behind the center of the subject, so that more shade and shadow falls on the observable surface.
Practice this look.
Then move the light sightly in front of the center of the subject so that more light falls on the surface of the subject. Note the changes in where the highlights, shades and cast shadows fall.
After repeated sketches and practice your work sheet should start to look like drawings of real spheres. After that, experiment with more than one light source, reflected light, and finally color.
All this is to train your mind to carefully observe your subject, and to render it onto paper accurately. Once you master simple shapes you can start working on complex shapes, a good working knowledge of anatomy will help, if your subjects are to appear life like they will have bones, muscles, and hair and then there is the whole "how fabric drapes" thing, but for now observation & practice are the best ways to get where you want to be.
Eventually you will want to enlist the help of friends and family as models... I know your brother doesn't look like your character, but he does have bones and muscles and is close enough that you can walk around him and shine a light source onto him so you can understand what your character needs to make him look real.
Just remember, observation and lots of practice will show in your end work.
What is the meaning of line variation?
Instead of a mechanical looking line, a line with variation will go from thin to wide, and/or light to dark, and is usually more organic looking.
Before they invented drawing boards what did they go back to?
most likley... they just drew on in the dirt with a stick -The beginning -The front -The place where they belong
A form of three-dimensional projection in which all of the principal planes are drawn parallel to corresponding established axes and at true dimensions; horizontals usually are drawn at 30° from the normal horizontal axes; verticals remain parallel to the normal vertical axis.

Do i go over my drawing with fine liner before i add colour?
If you draw in rubbing lead pencil then go over it with a ballpoint pen but if your using a regular sketching HB pencil you can use sharpie or fine liner what ever you prefer.
Futurama was created by Matt Groening (who also created the Simpsons ). The show is "drawn" by a team of animators.
What is a black drawing stick used for artwork?
Well, depending on what kind of "black stick" you are talking about, it could be charcoal. This utensil has been used for over 55 years for making texturized art.
How do you make drawings look real?
In order to make a drawing look real you have to pay extra attention to things like: perportion, lighting, shadow, scale, setting, colour, and texture.
Start by checking your source. If you are working from life or a photo or you imagination you have to study your subject carefully. Decide which angle you want to draw from. Observe how the light and consequentially the shadows fall. Look closely at the texture of the various surfaces.
Now, set up your paper or other "ground". A quick light sketch of your subject will place it on the ground. Be sure to center the sketch on your ground and leave enough room around it to set it in its environment. In reality things do not just float in nothingness, for your drawing to appear realistic you have to include some of the surrounding environment.
Once your subject has been sketched, begin to firm up the drawing, adjust the outline, lightly block in the shadows and highlights. Continue to adjust and add detail until you have an accurate rendition of your subject.
Now start adding textures and finer details. If you are rendering your subject in colour, this is the time to start adding light colours. Keep working, add more texture and detail, be sure your shadows fall correctly, enhance the edges of your subject using found and lost edges.
Now, sit back and compare your drawing to the subject, be objective, notice what doesn't look quite right and work on those parts. This process can take quite a bit of time, but at some point you will have to stop. Even if the drawing is not perfect, leave it. Go on and do another drawing, and another... It is the drawing that teaches you. Practice, practice, practice... time and experience will eventually get you where you want to be.
Why is it important to produce simple 'crates' when sketching?
so that it is easier to draw the plan needed to be drawn
