Is this text correct? Summary Drawing: Drawing is an art form in itself, and anybody can learn to draw; you don’t need talent to draw because talent is just a mixture of some beneficial personality traits, inspiration, support, confidence, and hard work. Drawing Materials: Find your own materials, you´ll find your own style as a result. Sketchbooks: Carry your sketchbooks always with you so if you get inspired you can do it right away no matter where you are. Drawing papers: Paper is made from pulped wood or pulped materials such as cotton or linen. Usually you get what you pay for with paper. Its recommended that you explore different materials. Keep looking until you find the one that works best for you. Pencils and pens: The lead in pencils is measured by letters and numbers that indicate the hardness and blackness of the graphite. The letter H represents the hardness of the lead, letter B stands for blackness. It´s worth taking the time to find out what suits you best. If you use ink only occasionally, you may want to choose disposable pens, since these don’t clog up if they are not used regularly (as refillable pens can sometimes be prone to do) Ink: Using ink produces more organic lines and is less predictable than using the technical drawing pens. You can also mix the ink with water to dilute it, which allows you to create paler washes of color and shading. Paint: Watercolor is probably the most familiar type of paint. It is water-soluble, translucent paint that is fairly easy to use. (Applied to a dedicated watercolor paper) Masking fluid is used to prevent the paint from bleeding into areas that artists want to remain on a basic color. Gouache is a better option that watercolor for painting on standard papers because it can be applied using less water. Poster paint is very similar but is slightly cheaper; they are opaque paints, which mean that each layer of color will cover the layer underneath it. Acrylic is very flexible and water based it, dries very quickly, so it can be reworked in the same way as oil paint over a long period of time; it will become water resistant when it dries, so rewetting the paint is not possible. Brushes can have either synthetic bristles (like nylon) or natural bristles (such as sable or hog´s hair). Brushes are described by shapes and sizes. The shapes include round, flat, fan and angled. Sizes range from negative values denoted by 4/0 to positive values indicated by single numbers such as 4. Erasers are used to get rid of any mistake or also used as a drawing tool; Use erasers to add texture or reflection to a surface. Other drawing aides can be useful to help you draw straight lines, edges, circles, curves, and angles that would be difficult to draw freehand. Drawing basic shapes is how you should try to see objects when you start learning to draw.

Hello Mary: You have quite a lengthy essay on your subject, which is a very good thing, and your grammar is generally just fine. There is hardly room here to publish it and comment or correct at the same time, and where there are errors, they are minor to insignificant. I think you could improve your essay in several places. I think you should write something more in detail about the materials, beyond "find your own". For example, you might tell the students how to make their own charcoal for drawing. I've done that, and it is not so difficult. On the whole however, you have done a fine job of writing. ---Warm Regards, Bruce
