Mark making for tonal variety

Watch the video to discover a range of mark making exercises to create a drawing.

Mark making can be useful to add form, depth and texture to your drawings. Experimentation with mark making can relax you enough to explore without judgement and find new ways to make your mark.

You will need:

• paper – regular sketching paper or textured canvas
• fine liner or felt tipped pens in a variety of thicknesses
• charcoal
• pencils – HB, 2B, 4B or 6B
• Ink or paint
• soft pastels
• mark making objects that can be used to apply paint or make a mark
