__Introduction: __
The type of artwork for pen and ink has been around for many years. It has influenced many artist to start new art drawings such as calligraphy and comics. Like always, there are certain ways to do this type of art. Many artist, like Picasso, have evolved black and white drawings by adding color to them. There are many different and many ways to start a pen and ink drawing. Some people start with a pencil sketch and others don't. For me, the reason that I like pen and ink drawings is because they stand out a lot and makes me think of another world. I think it is very original for an artist to only use two colors other than a lot and making it colorful.

__The Questions That My Research Addressed Are:__

 * 6) Are there techniques that I need to use?
 * 7) What are some great inks to use?

"pen and ink drawings." //art-is-fun.com.// Thaneeya Mc.Ardle, n.d.Web. 4 April 2011

The purpose of the website art-is-fun.com, is to help artist either beginners or not by giving tips. The website was created by an artist named Thaneeya Mc.Ardle. I came across this website intending to answer a question that I had about the paper, but instead I found out answers to a different quesion. My question of I would need other materials besides the pen, ink, and the paper. I found out that I would need kneaded rubber to erase the pencil marks, a ruler for straight lines, templates, and an archival sealant spray to preserve the drawing.

"Pen & Ink Art Projects." //eHow.com//. Deborah Harding, n.d.Web. 2 May 2011.

The website eHow.com is a place where you could learn how to do many things. The one article that stuck to me was " Pen & Ink Art Projects" by Deborah Harding. It talks about the things I will need to create a black and white pen drawings. It gives me information on the pens, ink, paper, the preparation, and the detail that I am going to have to use. I learned the different techniques and ways to shade in the drawing. It talks about cross-hatching, stippling, hatching, and many more. Each any everyone of the techniques make a different statement on the drawing. Some could be for shadowing and other could be used for something different. Also, I learned that you don't always have to start to draw with the pen itself, but that you could first draw it with a light pencil drawing, and then when your done, you trace it and add detail with the pen.

"Drawing." //ARTtalk.com//. ARTtalk. n.d. Web. 2 May 2011. ARTtalk.com is a website for artist that provides a newsletter and articles on art and supplies for art. The article named " Drawing" helped me on my question that i had on the pens and inks. It goes into detail the different pens and how they write. It talks about the different papers and how some don't splatter on the paper. In the end, the article is very trustworthy since it is a website of art, and they things that you need to know about art. I learned that pens with an interchangeable ink, they write good but that they could only be written in a certain way or they drip the ink a lot, or also that they could splatter on the paper.
