Common questions I am asked

Which pencils are best for monochrome portraits ?

Staedtler Mars Lumograph Drawing pencils 


Which skin colored pencils are best for colored portraits?

Brustro skin colored pencils is what I will suggest.  


Can I use Brolaviya mobile stand and DaVinci eye app?

You must. Today the competition is for coloring and shades and light and shadows.  Not resemblance. 


Is it moral to use above mentioned aids?

Should we be making steel by smithy route? Ask this question to yourself. 


Should a kid get into funny cartoons?

No. A kid should get into comics. Not funny cartoons.  Because trying to be funny is for aged people. 


What is the advise for watercolor,  oil, acrylic , crayons and pastels ?

I have no advice to give. As I am of pencils. 


Should I buy 120 colored pencils set or 12 colored pencils set?

It is tough to answer. Colors can be mixed. Perhaps 12 colors can be combined to give 120 colors.  Try teaching your kids cross hatching or cosine hatching with red (available in 12 colored set) and draw an apple. Observe whether he is more into gradience or more into color combinations.  Then decide.


Is it okay for kid to draw from imagination?

It is best a kid draws what is in front of him. However our education system is not like that. So you decide.
