Do it yourself art

Did you know that your eraser can be a drawing tool? Not only that, it produces a quick arty effect which anyone can do. And create frameable art. Quick, do this and impress your friends!

Just follow these simple steps. Better still, do it with your child for company. Family fun, as a bonus!

What you need:

Pencil, paper and an eraser.

What to do:

1. Just scribble away and cover an area of the paper with fast, furious strokes.

2. Draw the outline of what you want to portray.

3. Rub away with the eraser to show the lit portions of your object.

4. Finish by shading the dark portions with the pencil. Voila!

Tip: Use the eraser to rub away a border for your picture.

Did two more, very simple ones to show you that you can draw almost anything this way. You may even try out abstracts if you are absolutely sure you can't draw anything else.

The one below is the same concept, in photoshop. Just put it up for those who want to finish it in photoshop. But there's nothing better than using your hands and paper, and framing it up, finally! Have fun!
