Pencil drawing

 

Pencil drawing is a technique in which artists use pencils of varying hardness to create lines, tones, and shading on paper or other surfaces. Pencil drawings can range from light, delicate sketches to detailed and realistic renderings. Artists control the darkness and texture of the lines by adjusting the pressure applied to the pencil. Different grades of pencils, from soft (B) to hard (H), allow for a wide range of effects. Pencil drawings are often used for preliminary sketches, illustrations, portraits, and fine art. The monochromatic nature of pencil drawings emphasizes the play of light and shadow in the artwork.
