YOGYAKARTA Illustration with dry techniques is one of the learning activities of fine arts for children and adults. Called dry techniques because the color or drawing tools used do not require additional mixtures of water or oil. This means that coloring or image tools can be used directly. Tools and materials for drawing illustrations with dry techniques are different from wet techniques such as acrylic paint, ink, and so on.

Persil is used to make basic, line, and shadow sketches. Pensil is divided into several types such as the 6B used for shading, there are also HB pencils used to add details.

Its function is to add color to the illustration of dry engineering because it does not require any mixture so it can be used immediately. Color pencils are chosen because they are more practical.

Similar to color pencils, markers and markers are also used to add colors or thicken lines. The thickness of the line itself can be done by choosing the size of the marker or marker as needed.

Dry pastels are also used to add colors to illustration. Pastels can be used with smooth blending techniques.

Mistakes in drawing dry engineering illustrations may occur. To remove it requires rubber removal. However, erasers are not only used to correct lines, but are used to cause a highlight effect.

Functioning as a tool in drawing straight lines or geometric patterns. Researchers and malls have a variety of diverse shapes.

The main medium drawing dry techniques is image paper, while in wet techniques it can use canvas media. Image paper is suitable for use in dry engineering because when depictions do not involve water that can damage the image media.

Blending tools are used to create fine gradations or evenly share on image paper. Blending tools can be in the form of cotton or tissue.
