Principal methods

The principal methods used are: the layout of lines, hatching (parallel, cross, curved or random), the griffonnage, the dotted line, the range.

Among the material of the most common drawing, one finds the pencil, the Fusain, the Pastel, the black Pierre, the Sanguine, the white Craie as well as the feather and the Indian ink or any other object which leave a trace. But all the materials of drawing are not manufactured containing Eau or of Huile: some apply dry to the support, without any preparation. Nevertheless, one can find pastels containing oil, of the pencils containing Cire or Peinture to water…

Differences between the drawing and painting

The principal difference between the drawing and the Peinture is that when it draws , the Art ist uses pure colors, and cannot mix them before applying them (while in Peinture, from new colors are obtained by mixture of the basic colors). In term of application on the support, the drawing involves a kind of engraving whereas painting works by flat tints. The draftsman thus multiplies the traces in order to obtain his flat tints. The colors obtained on the support can mix following a chemical interaction . However, this mixture is generally only one effect Optique obtained by the superposition of the colors on the support (when the light crosses the successive layers of color), or by the juxtaposition of small points of different colors (which makes that the eye human, unable to distinguish such a level of detail, perceives a mixture of the various colors).

It is interesting to note that the artists using of the techniques such as the pastels or the colored pencils name their compositions of the paintings .

Speed

The drawing is often used for the speed of its implementation, and one speaks then about Schéma, Croquis, Esquisse to express this first phase of a more important work or more excavated.

Legal protection of the drawings (and models)

In French right which transposes a Community directive of October 13rd, 1998 relating to the protection of the drawings and models. , the drawing is defined as follows: " any new drawing, any new plastic form, any industrial object which differs from its similar, either by a configuration distinct and recognizable giving a character of innovation to him, or by one or more external effects giving him a clean and new aspect " (Cf L. 511-3 Code of the Intellectual property or CPI).

It benefits then from a one 25 years maximum duration protection per 5 years period provided it " is a new and present clean character " (cf Article L. 511-2 CPI).

A Community protection also exists with the proit of any original drawing. A Community payment of 2001 confers an opposable protection on the scale of the European Union. For the drawings recorded with OHMI (Office of Harmonization of the Interior market), protection is in time the same one as in France (from 5 to 25 years). For the drawing (or model) not recorded, this protection is born from the first disclosure for one three years duration.

There exists finally with the international scales a protection which is opposable as from the international recording of the drawings and model industrial with Mondiale of Intellectual property (OMPI).
