We draw in mixed technique
How to draw a Spitz in mixed technique?
By analogy we draw a spitz and color itpaints. And then, if desired, the watercolor drawing can be supplemented with ball or gel pens, ink, charcoal or pastel. Everything depends on personal preferences and ability to own material.
The easiest way to do a drawing with a gel pen. If the stroke does not lie flat, you can go through another layer of ink, and the situation will change for the better. Watercolor, combined with charcoal or other soft material, looks impressive, but to make such a drawing without the experience of drawing is problematic. For the first samples it is better to buy coal or pastel, framed in a wooden case. These "pencils" are more convenient to draw: they do not spoil hands and paper.
The main thing to remember is that the skill comes with experience, which means you need to draw as often as possible, and then everything will turn out.
