Refill & Repair Tips

Lighting and Shading

You can get shadows as well as

3-dimensional effects by using different shades of the same colour on different parts of the drawing. The closer the lines are together, the darker the shade. The further the lines are apart, the lighter the shade.

Curves

To draw curved objects just colour your drawing using bent lines.

Shinning and lighting effects

You can also colour your drawings with dots. By changing the space in between dots, you can get shining and lighting effects. The best product to colour using dots are Faber-Castell Poster Art Pens, because they have bigger tips.

Creating New Colour

You can create new colours with dots by drawing dots of different sizes, densities and colours. This can give the appearance of a single colour when viewed from a distance.
