Pencil drawing in monochrome
Pencil drawing in black and white is the basis for any budding artist. Many new artists into the trap of skipping Foundation for the Advancement and go right to learn to paint or draw in color. They do this by learning the location and shapes and then paint over them.
Unfortunately, this process can not produce a good drawing. This is because when the artist began to paint over the lines, he or she starts to crawl too. As a result, you lose spontaneity. The drawing seems unnatural, and the artist is only cheating yourself.
So how about it? The answer lies in learning to draw and draw correctly, so when the picture comes out, what seems natural rather than mechanical.

That's because the document has to anticipate the needs of the use of colors. Choose a sketchbook that is easy to practice. Do not worry if you feel fine. You do not need a thick piece of cartridge paper for sketching exercises.
The next step is to choose the drawing tools that allow you to work both in the broad lines and details Fine. No matter what kind of instruments you will use monochrome (charcoal, pencils, etc.), but you need not know that you should keep the tools updated pointed at all times to fine details.
