Different types of drawing

  1. Technical drawing
  2. Architectural drawing
  3. Engineering drawing
  4. Oil painting
  5. Anatomy
Oil Painting:

The process of oil painting varies from artist to artist, but often includes certain steps. First, the artist prepares the surface.

The artist might sketch an outline of their subject prior to applying pigment to the surface. "Pigment" may be any number of natural substances with color, such as sulphur for yellow or cobalt for blue. The pigment is mixed with oil, usually linseed oil but other oils may be used as well. The various oils dry differently, creating assorted effects.

Traditionally, artists mixed their own paints from raw pigments they often ground themselves and medium. This made portability difficult and kept most painting activities confined to the studio. This changed in the late 1800s, when oil paint in tubes became widely available. Artists could mix colors quickly and easily, which enabled, for the first time, relatively convenient.

The artist most often uses a brush to apply the paint. Brushes are made from a variety of fibers to create different effects. For example, brushes made with hog's bristle might be used for bolder strokes and impasto textures. Fitch hair and mongoose hair brushes are fine and smooth, and thus answer well for portraits and detail work. Even more expensive are red sable brushes (weasel hair). The finest quality brushes are called kolinsky sable; these brush fibers are taken from the tail of the Siberian mink. This hair keeps a superfine point, has smooth handling, and returns to its original point when lifted off the canvas this .

Sizes of brushes also are widely varied and used for different effects. For example, a "round" is a pointed brush used for detail work. "Flat" brushes are used to apply broad swaths of color. "Bright" is a flat with shorter brush hairs. "Filbert" is a flat with rounded corners. "Egbert" is a very long "Filbert" and is rare. The artist might also apply paint with a palette knife, which is a flat, metal blade. A palette knife may also be used to remove paint from the canvas when necessary. A variety of unconventional tools, such as rags, sponges, and cotton swabs, may be used. Some artists even paint with their fingers. (source wikipedia)It can also last for a long time.


Anatomy:

It is subdivided into gross anatomy (or macroscopic anatomy) and microscopic anatomy. Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by unaided vision with the naked eye. Microscopic anatomy is the study of minute anatomical structures assisted with microscopes, which includes histology (the study of the organization of tissues), and cytology (the study of cells).(source: wikipedia)

It is to locate where the body parts and the drawing of them correctly.(myself)


Technical drawing:

These drawings are for precisions machinery.Mechanics from workshops use this for producing parts that they want.It is also in the form of blocks,cuboids and perspective drawing.We can also use this to draw three dimensions drawing.


Engineering drawing:

It is about for technicians to assemble the parts together and form a machine or product. It is also a blue print which s like a plan of a building.When designer or engineer do or design the plan on something,it is also called engineering drawing.


Architectural drawing:

The architectural drawing is very special as it have a external design of a building.It includes electrical layout,piping,air ventilation,linkage and structure of building.


It is because when some of the drawings are combined,for example:when the architectural drawing plus engineering drawing maybe able to build a house.
