Using Graphite

Graphite is a simple technique that many artists use. Graphite is a pencil that has different levels of depth depending on the pencil you choose. You can also use a solid stick of lead rather than a plastic or wood cased pencil. Many artists use these for mainly drawings and are best used on plain sketch pads but some people also use graphite with for shading is some paintings or marking where to engrave on a sculpture.

Graphite is mainly used for shading a drawing such as a face but you can use them for much more. Here is one of my first drawings with my Graphite set.



I was given a kit filled with many different types of graphite and I love them all. I use them almost on a daily in my favorite sketch book.
