Draw freely with the Art Stix. Hold one in your hand like a pencil, and draw on a piece of paper. Create dots by lightly tapping a corner of the square-shaped tip on the paper. Create larger, darker dots by pressing harder -- with the entire, flat surface of the tip on the paper.
Place one of the Art Stix on its side so it's flat. Use the side to shade in a large area. Or place an item like a stencil under a piece of paper, and go over it with the long, flat side -- to create a rubbing or transfer.
Create a point with one of the Art Stix, to better resemble a colored pencil. Hold a coloring stick with one hand, and shave off pieces away from you, using a craft knife. Do this until you have created a point.
