What is Its

Read this information then find out how much you can learn.

Hand Tools and Equipment in Illustration

A tool is a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task. A tool

can be any item that is used to achieve a goal. Equipment usually denotes a
set of tools that are used to specific objective. To complete illustration
works, it is important to have a toolkit that should contain all of the
necessary tools. As you gain experience, you will learn which tools are
available for different types of jobs. Hand tools and equipment can be
grouped into these two categories:

6
  Hand or Manual Illustration Tools
 Digital Illustration Tools

 Hand or Manual Illustration Tools

A hand tool is any illustration tool that is powered by hand rather

than motor or any electrical devices. This includes:

 Drawing Pencils
Pencil is a basic instrument for any graphic course. It
is made of wood, has the form of cylinder or
hexagonal.
Drawing Pencil

 Erasers
Eraser is used to clean unnecessary marks. Sometimes
it is difficult to rub certain marks, so you must use
eraser as less as possible. Here are some examples of
eraser: rubber eraser, kneaded eraser, gum eraser and
vinyl or plastic eraser.
Eraser
 Ruler
A ruler is possibly one of the most important pieces of
the drawing tools. Ruler is used to measure lengths
and to draw straight lines.
Ruler

 Papers

Paper is a material made of cellulose pulp derived

mainly from wood, rags or certain grasses. Paper can be
smooth or coarse. With smooth paper, we can draw in
greater detail and smaller shapes, while using rough
paper will add a textured effect
Paper

 Compass

Compass is used to draw circles and arcs, and used to

transfer measures to drawing. It has two articulated arms
on the extremes. One of the extremes is a needle, which
you fix on the paper in the center of the arc that you
want to draw. On the other end is where you attach a
pencil to draw circles. Compass

7
  Masking Tape

Masking tape is used to secure the paper to the drawing

board. It is a sticky paper tape which is made of thin and
easy to tear paper and easily released pressure-sensitive
adhesive.
Masking Tape

 Drawing Board (also known as drawing table)

Drawing board (also known as drawing table) is

a kind of multipurpose which can be used for
any kind of drawing, writing or impromptu
sketching on a large sheet of paper or for
reading a large format book or other oversized
document or for drafting precise technical
illustrations.
Drawing Board

 Coloring Materials

Coloring materials are used to give life into your

drawings. There is a wide variety of coloring
medium: oil pastel, watercolor, acrylic paint and
charcoals.

Coloring Materials

 Sharpener

A sharpener is used for sharpening a pencil

whenever it shows sign of dullness.
Sharpener

 Triangular Scales

Its main purpose is to reproduce the dimension in

full size or to reduce or enlarge them on a drawing.
Scales help a drafter keep the proportions accurate

Triangular Scales

8
  Divider

Drawing instrument is used when transferring

measurement and dividing lines and arcs into the desired
number of equal parts.
Divider
 Protractor

Is used to form angles that cannot be made with the

triangles. Angles from 0 degrees to 180 degrees are
marked on the semicircular edge.
Protractor
 Scanner

An electronic device that generates a digital

representation of an image for data input to a
computer.
Scanner

 Digital Illustration Tools

Digital drawing refers to drawing or illustration which is created

using graphics software. Instead of using a pencil and paper, digital
artists draw with a tablet or a computer, along with the device such as
mouse or a stylus. This includes:

 Drawing Tablet

A drawing tablet is a standard tool that every digital artist has in his
toolkit. A normal mouse is not capable enough to draw intricate
patterns. On top of that, they do not have pressure sensitivity which is
an essential part of making art digitally. Drawing tablets gives you full
control and feels as natural as drawing with a pencil.
*Drawing tablets come in two variants
1. With Screen- also called pen monitor/display tablet
2. Without screen- drawing pad or Pen tab

Tablet with Screen Tablet without Screen

9
 Stylus

It is used to draw or make selections by tapping, on

devices with touchscreens such as tablet, computer and
mobile devices. A stylus is a pen-shaped object that you
can use to draw on the surface of your tablet. You can
use it just like a pen, pencil or brush. A stylus will help
you get the most out of your iPad or tablet or
smartphones. Stylus

 Drawing Software

The next most important tool for a digital artist is drawing software.
They are programs that are specifically made for making digital
paintings. Photoshop is the industry standard when it comes to drawing
software but it can be a little expensive. There are other alternatives in
the market such as Krita, Clip studio paint, and Corel Draw.

Adobe Photoshop Corel Draw Krita Clip Studio Paint

 Powerful Computer

An average computer works fine enough for digital painting. Issues

start to appear when you are working on a large canvas size using
heavily stylized brushes. Very often you will find the computer freezes up
or crashes the software. It may also result in a huge slowdown of the
computer where every single stroke appears a few seconds after you
draw them. Getting a good computer solves all these issues.
