About Rekhatan

`REKHATAN’ is a trust engaged in upbringing of art of making

pencil sketches. It gives systematic and proper training of making

pencil sketches to all the people who want to learn this art.

An illustrative step by step training about pencil sketching is

given by experts at `REKHATAN’. `REKHATAN’ believes that

making a drawing using pencils can be among the most

rewarding exercise for any artist. It has successfully trained

around 250 students in the art of pencil sketching from year 2006

till now.

Pencil artists use several key techniques to complete their sketches.The art of contour or focusing on the shapes of

things and black and white spaces is particularly important,

in which the artist strives to get the form down without lifting

his pencil. Shading, or the ability to distinguish between light

and shade, is the next major technique for the pencil artist to

master primarily by manipulating erasure marks with a blending

stamp to achieve the right balance. The final task involves the

addition of lines and textures to provide greater definition

and realism. The manipulation of these techniques forms the

basic elements of any pencil drawing, while helping to distinguish

one artist's style from another. Drawing in pencils can be

among the most rewarding exercise for any artist.

Working in pencil allows the artist to concentrate on capturing

the essence of any image, using simple tools to get the job done.
