X-35 sketch

Pencil sketching is drawing with a pencil. It can refer to the general technique of drawing, or a method of reproducing photos. For the latter, the negative image of a photograph is placed in a photographic enlarger in a dark room. The image is projected on to the paper where the sketch is to be done. All the light shades are penciled until the paper is all the same shade.

Pencil drawing is mostly pencil erasing, that is once the graphite from the pencil is placed on the paper the harsh lines are smudged using an art gum eraser to create shading and fullness. When skillfully done the drawing in pencil will resemble a black and white (or rather a "grayscale") rendering of a photograph. the use of two erasers is common in pencil drawing: Art gum and hard rubber. The difference is that art gum will not totaly remove the graphite from the paper but as I said will smudge it to create a shadowing effect, the hard rubber will remove the graphite to "clean up" the drawing by removing the unwanted lines or to bring the drawing into persective. Drawing is a means of making an image, using any of a wide variety of tools and techniques. ...


In history, the use of "pencil" sketches were preliminary drawings that allowed the artist to put the ideas for a larger (fresco or oil painting) down on paper. Pencil sketches are inexpensive and allow the artist to try-out different ideas before committing to an expensive and time consuming painting or fresco.


The use of a modern pencil however (i.e. a mixture of graphite encased in a wooden holder) did not come into use until modern time, the artists of the renaissance did make sketches using a silver stylus on a specially prepared paper (known as silverpoint), that is similar to a modern pencil sketch. Even in the renaissance the drawing came into itself as an art work onto itself when Michalangelo and Leonardo da Vinci created a cartoons for fresos that was never completed in Florance.

Pencil Drawings – Colored Pencil – Art Pencil Sketches (254 words)

He or she then traces the outline with a pencil; after the trace is finished, the artist uses his or her drawing as a starting point from whence his or her composition begins.
Pencils, while simple, every day utensils, can be an artist’s best friend–at least one of his or her cheapest–while at the same time possessing the same–if not more–ability to bring a piece to life.
