Using Drawing Tools & Colour Shapers - Pencils4Artists

 

Derwent Empbossing Tools
An embossing tool is ideal for botanical and animal studies as it can be used to create effects with fur, grass, detail in leaves and petals and so on.
You use an embossing tool before drawing to score the paper lightly then, when colour is applied over the top the white shows through to show detail. Usually embossing tips are slightly rounded so the paper is not torn or damaged when the tool is being used to impress the fine detail
Caran D'Ache Scraper
Scrapers are very useful tools when using any wax or oil based media i.e. Derwent Artbar, Caran D'Ache Neocolor and Neocolor II Wax Pastels, Oil Pastels and so on.  Most scrapers have different edges such as curves or zig zags, as well as a variety of points, which will enable you to scrape away the colour to reveal colours underneath or the paper and thus create different effects.
