Types of medias for my project

I research and used different types of medias in college so i could get familiar with them and understand the techniques on how to use them. I used a variety of medias such as pencil, charcoal, watercolours, alcohol pens, pastels and Photoshop. At home i also used watercolour pencils which was much more harder to use then watercolours.

Charcoal has many different key attributes. The charcoal is a very soft a brittle media which allows you to blend the charcoal into paper and create variety of different tones. This is a great media for a dark background and making two dark colours blend together to create smooth and professional finish.
Watercolours have a very unique style when using them. Use have to be careful on how much water you use so it does not ruin the page. They have to be dealt with care and use small strokes with a fine paint brush. They are good for creating a blended effect for a environment or scene.
Alcohol pens are great for creating a watered out look effect. The dark tones allow you to create images such as silhouettes. They have types of tips so you can get in small corners and can use them for large spaces such as silhouettes.
Pencil is a very popular and easy media to use. Pencil is great for fine detail art and blending two colours or tones together to make them contrast.

This is an image of a charcoal background. As you can see charcoal is easy to blend with and can create dark spaces and light with flow smoothly throughout the environment.
