Lines and Shading
Using lines to indicate form by defining the edges is one of the first things that artists learn when they hold a drawing implement for the very first time. Then the use of lines diversify as they grow more experienced, showing differences in tone, proper shading of subjects relative to light sources, and tracing contours with their lines, among other skills that they learn and develop as they continue practicing their craft.
All these things are more important; there’s no color that distracts the viewers from an art subject’s beautiful form and structure.
Pencils, Charcoal, and Ink
Pencils are some of the most ubiquitous etching tool to have ever existed and easily extremely versatile. Ink drawings tend to more heavily feature form and lines, often making creative use of negative space or differing densities of hatching or crosshatching or of unlit torches.
Aside from pencils and pens, charcoal is another effective drawing implement used in black and white drawings. Have a look at these charcoal drawings and see what they’re all about. As one might know, nature has often inspired artwork. If you want to see more of that same inspiration and what came out of it, check out these nature drawings that we’re sharing with you.

Purity in Black and White
Line art is usually where artists start their own training—by themselves or under someone’s tutelage. The beach drawing features a continuous line drawing that is a great addition to the training of novice draftsmen to train in the formation of structures, eventually coming on to their own styles as they train more. There’s a lot of things that come to light when colors are taken out of the equation. Forms stand out more as themselves than part of a blur, and the lines have more depth in them somehow.
This collection includes a variety of drawing styles that show different ways of how—although color brings something great to pieces of artwork—color can also distract from other factors that would have made an otherwise bland subject truly inspire awe and wonder in the people who would see them.
