Drawing in pencil, advice and equipment
Using any art medium requires a little knowledge. This article focuses on tools you use, and some of the techniques of pencil drawing.
First, consider the pencils themselves. From my experience, to pay more to buy a pen just an overall better quality, performance drivers is fairly similar across the range of prices.
The only thing to import when you buy graphite pencils is to have a range of different qualities. "H" pencils led hard. "B" have soft lead pencils. The higher the number H or B, the harder or softer than they are, therefore H9 is very hard, and B9 is very sweet.
In terms of drawing, pencil "control and gentleness" to equate the lightness and darkness. A pencil will make a very low Sharp gray line, while a soft pencil will be darker and less distinct mark. Pencil drawing is a matter of light and record store, if you need to use a range of pencils lighter and darker in capturing the tonal variations.
The range that you choose is yours, and nobody dependent on the style of drawings you want to do, but the "B" agree to most designs. I recommend at least a "HB" (or hard or soft), B, 2B, 4B, 6B, and 9B.
The choice of paper depends also on the type of drawings you want to do, but generally the best type of paper will be very smooth (cartridge paper, for example). Paper quality is important. Imperfections on the surface of a smooth paper have a bad habit of filling with graphite, and making patches.
Pencil work may require a good amount of mixing and recovery, it is advisable to use a paper that is reasonably robust. My personal recommendation is that you are using paper heavier weight than you can – something that will stand-up a few shots.
Always apply a pencil lightly, and never pressure. The aim should be to float the lead on the paper surface, and does not produce etching. Pressing hard will the dark pencil mark, but it will also distort the paper. Far better results can be obtained using more darker (softer) pencil lightly, when you need to make darker areas. Changing the angle of the pencil on paper may help you if you tend to be very severe. In summary, when the pencil is vertical to the paper, it is easy to push hard. Supported pencil reduces the amount of pressure that can be applied to its tip, and the least possible amount of pressure is reached when the pencil is leaning so far that is almost horizontal.
When shading a domain, do not rub the pencil randomly back and forth in all directions. Try to apply pencil strokes in a direction consistent and specific. The best direction is often one that describes the shape of an object, so if any something that the shadow is round, using curved lines.
The worst thing to do with the pencil is lay down and the surface of flat glass and even shading. The problem is often that the pencil strokes overlap, with the result that the overlapping areas are darker. One way to avoid it is always the shadow of a space two or three times to get uniform coverage. As long as you use the correct amount of pencil lightly and constant, you will not end with darker accordingly. For example, three layers of B is not as dark as a layer of B2 (but should be smooth).
The usual approach with a pencil is to work from dark to light. The reason for this is described above, but acknowledges Further properties of pencil. Graphite is a lubricant. If you put down a very slight shade first time you see that lubricates effectively paper, and subsequent shadowing occurs more smoothly and fluidly. So if you want to shade an area with a B3 "Depth will not directly in the B3 accumulation by two of the three phases, say a B, B2, B3, and then one. If you want a gray area in B8 or B9 depth, and go through several steps, but start by saying a B6.
If you want to save the really dark shades, it is possible to buy pencils specialists "Darker than B9, or you can use a little coal. Graphite is shades of gray and never black.
Time for a word on sharpening pencils. Most pencil drawing is a question of light on the recording areas and shade, there is no "lines" in unless the technical drawing is your thing. My advice is – do not sharpen your pencil too often. The shading is more easily done with pencil Blunt, so that when you need to refine Crisp (general retail finalizing).
The mixture is a pencil drawing technique indispensable. The mixture is burrs fundamentally. Fumigation can be used to smooth out and pencil shading mixture of different qualities to produce a smooth tonal gradation.
Crayon stains easily because of the lubricating properties of graphite. You can with your fingers (although Tips a little messy), Torchillons (strains paper), and "Q-" (cotton swabs on sticks in most bathrooms) are very good for mixing. Whatever you use, make your mixture directional strokes rather than chance.
A gum can be very useful. It is not to correct errors, it is necessary cleaning up (because of the pencil smudges so easily). The best type is a chewing gum. They are very flexible and can be pinched in points or thin edges out of tiny dots or thin lines with a pencil from your table, without making a mess on paper.
The bit Final equipment you want to use is a spray fixative. This stops the picture of burrs once it is completed, but can also be used Mid-design to avoid unwanted smudges. Do not use hair spray (except hair), use something made fixative and not be on it (a stream of light is sufficient).
