This traveler journal with black paper can be your companion anywhere. I found this awesome video by Kathleen Darby that can hopefully give you some more tips and inspiration: Besides, testing how good will the certain media lay on paper is essential before you start working. Why? Because colors may look differently on black and definitely won’t show the result you’re used to. Do it on the piece of the exact same paper you’re going to work with. This applies not only to black paper: you have to swatch the colors first.Don’t use this advice too often, but for small areas and dry media it can work out really well.
You can use black mediums as an eraser.But if your layers are light, it will be easier to erase something, and it also helps you to layer colors to make your drawing look amazing, If you apply heavy pressure on your pencils, you won’t be able to erase the lines completely if you need it. So, when drawing on black paper, don’t leave shadowed areas completely black, unless your drawing style requires this.īut if it doesn’t and you’re going for something more realistic, keep in mind that pitch black areas are where the core shadow – an area where the least amount of light reflects – is. Whether it’s ambient or reflected, it is there.

It’s a very metaphorical process, in a way, because darkness is emptiness, the lack of light, and you bring the light into that pitch black space with your own hands. You basically start with the darkness, dark shadows, and transition to lighter colors (but again, with the help of layering). While working with white paper consists of making light tones darker with layers of colors and shading, black paper works in the opposite way. The black paper has no “light” in it, which puts all the responsibility for all the light in the drawing on the artist themselves. It can set up the whole style and mood of the drawing and tie the colors together into a complete palette. Toned paper (including black) usually works as a good foundation for other colors that you’re going to lay on it. Using black paper can actually reduce your drawing time. What makes drawing on black paper such a unique experience in general? It expands your mind, makes you question everything and create art in a completely different way from what you used to do. Periodically I’ll flip through it to see how much I’ve grown.Īre there any tips that you’ve discovered while drawing on black paper? I would be very excited to learn new techniques.The first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions drawing is the classical white paper + color combo.īut what if you actually decide to change the game and use colors on black paper? Or even white on black, as opposed to black lines on white? I like to keep my very first drawings in a portfolio along with my more recent ones. As you put more time and practice into it, you’ll get exponentially better. As with all art mediums, there will be a learning curve. Try it. This technique is most effective when it is used on small areas.ĭon’t be too hard on yourself if the first drawing (for me it was the first dozen) don’t turn out exactly how you envisioned it. And because a sharpened black colored pencil has such a fine tip, you can achieve a lot more accuracy than any small eraser. It took me a very long time to realize that your black colored pencil is equivalent to an eraser! Totally mind blowing. Treat your black colored pencil like an eraser This was much easier than trying to color around the text.ĥ.
The text was made by drawing “Hello!” with a black colored pencil over the purple background.
