- chalk - A fine-grained limestone, or soft, earthy form of calcium carbonate; used chiefly in putty, crayons, paint, rubber products, linoleum, and as a pigment and abrasive.
- charcoal (color) - Refers to a range of reddish to bluish grayish or blackish colors resembling the color of charcoal, which is graphitic carbon created from plant material.
- charcoal (plant material) - Refers to an impure form of graphitic carbon that is created as a residue when carbonaceous material is partially burned, or heated with limited access of air. It is used as a drawing material, for filtering liquids or air, and for other purposes.
- charcoal sticks - Black crayons made of charred twigs of wood, usually willow or pieces of vine, or sticks of compressed charcoal.
- drawing (image-making) - Producing visible forms primarily by delineation, usually by the direct application of material or instrument to the surface of the support.
- drawing techniques
- drawings (visual works) - Visual works produced by drawing, which is the application of lines on a surface, often paper, by using a pencil, pen, chalk, or some other tracing instrument to focus on the delineation of form rather than the application of color. This term is often defined broadly to refer to computer-generated images as well.
- Italian - Refers to the culture of the modern nation of Italy, or in general to cultures that have occupied the boot-shaped Italian peninsula in the Mediterranean Sea.
- paper (fiber product) - Refers generally to all types of matted or felted sheets or webs of fiber formed and dried on a fine screen from a pulpy water suspension. The fibers may be animal, such as hair, silk or wool, or mineral, such as asbestos, or synthetic. However most paper is made from cellulosic plant fiber, such as from wood pulp, grass, cotton, linen, and straw.
