Pencil Drawing

Pencil Drawing

I really enjoy using pencil in different ways, exploring different types of line, mark-making and shading. I also use as graphite stick shavings for shading, and coloured and watercolour pencils and crayon. I want to significantly improve my pencil drawing, both dynamism of line and also hyperrealism.

Shading with graphite

I also collect all the sharpenings from graphite sticks in a small container to use as graphite powder for shading – taking care not to inhale this.
