Using ordinary lolly stick, you can made your own ink pen.

Carefully snap a lolly stick and you have a great pen for drawing with.All you need now is a bottle of ink. Hold the stick in the same way that you hold a pen.

Dip the ''pen'' into ink - and experiment!

Hold the nib flat to the page and you will be able to do thick, sold lines. Twist the stick a little to get thinner lines. Using the corner of the stick, when there is not too much ink, create fainter lines. If you use stick to flick the paint, you get a feathered effect.

Just keep experimenting and practising , then you can try a picture

You can produce a set of different coloured pens too... using this technique to make a coloured picture.
