Coloured Pencils and pens are undoubtedly the only way to go when defining a landscape. Myriad colors create a vibrant atmosphere successfully evoking benign human emotions. But we cannot deny the fact that we love black and white drawings. Black and white drawings connote a sense of simplicity and timelessness. Rather than focusing on latent sentiments, they delve into the study of form and composition; something that must not be understated. Black and white drawings can undoubtedly serve as a powerful tool that may hold the viewer’s attention and lead them to a tête-à-tête with logic and design. Today, we focus on easy black and white drawings that you MUST try your hand at once. Not only would you be able to express your artistic fervour to form a prize-worthy artwork, but they will also help you appreciate the gentleness of composition.
Black And White Nature Drawing
Simple black and white drawings which put nature and its diverse elements first possess a timeless allure. If you decide to do a black and white flower drawing you must emphasize the details of the petals, its stamen, and other parts. If you desire to make a black and white tree drawing, you have the choice to play with light and shadow. Be sure to use an electric eraser to draw highlights. However, if you plan on doing an enchanting silhouette, you may forgo this tool. Black and white drawings of roses would entail precision in the way each rose petal folds outside and the thorns on their stems.

Animals and Insects Black and White Drawing
Each animal and insect have their nuances. For instance, in a peacock black and white drawing, you must use a sharp graphite pencil to sketch its body and detail the beautiful feather, maintaining the contrast between light and dark, which would’ve been present in a coloured drawing. For a black and white cat drawing, do not forget to add in the whiskers and its soft fur (through the use of highlights of course). Since a cat’s body may have defining marks, it makes your task easy and gives you autonomy over your splendid creation. You may even choose to do a magnificent butterfly drawing black and white, but be extra cautious with those wings, for they are tender and seldom translucent.

Legendary Figures’ Easy Black And White Drawing
When you are making black and white art drawings you have total control over your subjects. You can draw a tree or animals, but why not take it up a notch and use drawing pencils to conjure up mystical, mythical, or legendary figures? For example, conjure up Shivaji Maharaj drawing black and white. The great Maratha ruler is often depicted as stoic, so be privy to the fact. But nothing can stop you from changing a few details here and there. Attempt a Krishna black and white drawing. Whether you want to draw him as a baby or a full-fledged adult, the choice is yours. You may showcase the ‘makhan chor’ indulging in mischief or you may portray his several ‘Raas Leelas’. A Ganesha black and white drawing comprises his swirling trunk and his signature tooth.

Black And White Abstract Drawings
We must warn you, that some black and white drawing ideas may take you to dark corners of your mind. Well not really dark unless you consider trippy drawings black and white dark. Become the next Jackson Pollock and create your very own abstract art piece. You may choose to use his signature drip technique, but we advise you to use charcoal powder to manifest your emotions and artistic expressions.

Anime Black And White Drawings
Another idea for cool black and white drawings would be to draw anime. At this point, everyone rests assured in the knowledge that Japanese art forms (especially anime) remain unbeatable. Whether it is Pokemon, Astro Boy, or Naruto, give your favourite characters a try. If anime is not your cup of tea, you can even make your own comic strips, rivalling Peanuts or our very own Sherlock Holmes – Chacha Choudhary.
