Q2) Is he writing a bule gel ink pen?
(Is this expression correct? Do people use gel ink pens when they write?)
You need to say, "Is he writing with a blue pen?" You can add "gel" if you wish, but you don't need to add "ink" since that's what a pen does -- makes lines with ink.
Q3) Will you name writing materials which people use frequently when they draw or paint a picture?
colored pencils, colored pens, fountain pens,.................
Those are correct; you can also add charcoal, brushes, palette knife ( http://www.answers.com/topic/palette-knife ), paint rollers, and others.
Other tutors may have more to add.

A1) The main difference between painting and drawing lies in the mediums used and the techniques involved. Drawing typically refers to creating an image with lines and shading using pencils, pens, or charcoal. Painting, on the other hand, involves applying pigments or colors onto a surface using brushes, sponges, or other tools.
If a person uses a colored pencil, it would be more accurate to say "He is drawing a picture with a colored pencil." This is because colored pencils are commonly associated with drawing, where the pencil is used to create lines and fill in areas with color. Painting, on the other hand, usually involves a more liquid medium like paint, which would not be accurate when referring to colored pencils.
A2) The expression "Is he writing a blue gel ink pen?" is grammatically correct, but it may not be the most common way to phrase it. Gel ink pens are commonly used for writing, so you can simply say "Is he writing with a blue gel ink pen?" or "Is he using a blue gel ink pen to write?"
Yes, people do use gel ink pens when they write as they offer smooth ink flow and vibrant colors, making them popular for various writing purposes.
A3) Here are some commonly used writing materials in the context of drawing or painting:
- Colored pencils: Used for drawing and adding color to illustrations.
- Colored pens: Similar to colored pencils, these pens are also used for adding color to drawings or artworks.
- Fountain pens: Known for their elegant writing experience, fountain pens are sometimes used in calligraphy or fine art drawings.
- Brushes: Essential tools for painting, brushes come in various shapes and sizes, suitable for different painting techniques.
- Paints: The most common types of paint include watercolors, oils, acrylics, and gouache, each having its own unique characteristics and applications.
- Canvas or paper: Surfaces on which artists paint or draw, with different textures and weights suitable for different mediums.
These are just a few examples, and there are many other materials that can be used depending on the artist's preference and the desired artistic outcome.
