Re: Advise on sketching/drawing materials for oil painting

Listen mate are you interested in art or are you only interseted in
making something you can brag about to your non-intelligent friends.
Use Charcoal, Pencil, Oil pastels,Ink, Chalk, Brush Pens and use them
altogether, now, take a digital photograph of it and afterwards burn
it, and then you start again, why do you seek others approval all the
f****** time, are you insecure ? get a day job, in a shop !

Hi,

I am very interested and motivated about oil painting and have some
problems starting. I would like to make a sketch/drawing on canvas
before starting to block in the first layer of colors but am confused
about the method and materials to use to create this drawing.
I am not sure which methods are apropriate and would like to know some
of the advantages/disadvantages for each of these methods. I would
really appreciate some comments on the following methods as an
underdrawing for oil painting:

1) Charcoal: What kind of charcoal would I use (willow, vine, graphite,
colored charcoal, etc...)?
2) Pencil: Is it appropriate for sketching underneath oil?
3) Oil pastels: Is it possible, or would it blend too much with the oil
paint, or would the oil paint not stick on top of the pastel area's?
4) Ink - What kind of ink, and what to use to apply the ink?
5) Chalk: I've seen some sketching is done using chalk. Could it be
used as an underdrawing?
6) Brush pens?

Which of those methods is the prefered method and why?

Thanks in advance.
