Graphite drawing

 

Graphite drawing, also referred to as pencil drawing, is a traditional artistic technique in which artists use graphite pencils to create images on paper or other surfaces. These pencils come in various grades, offering a range of values from light to dark. Artists employ techniques like hatching, cross-hatching, shading, and blending to produce textures, tones, and dimension in their drawings. Graphite drawings are appreciated for their capacity to capture intricate details, delicate shading, and a wide array of tonal values. This approach is commonly applied to portraits, landscapes, still life compositions, and more, providing a versatile and precise method to depict subjects.
