STAEDTLER 110-4B Tradition Graphite Pencil for Drawing & Sketching - 4B (Box of 12)

Product Information

In this lesson, we'll take a look at the different grades of graphite, why they are designated as they are, and which pencils you may need (and the ones you don't) to find success with graphite drawing. Graphite Grades Grades of drawing pencils are organized in a scale based on softness or hardness. An "HB" pencil is found directly in the center of the scale. Finally, another 3 grade movement to a 7H can work in vertical lines to create the lightest side of the cube.

If this is your problem, in this tutorial I will show you how to draw fur. First hint? You need to draw what you see, not what you know! What You Will Need to Draw Fur Tone is all about creating harmony, be it in art or in music. Tone can be used to create the illusion of form or a sense of depth and distance in a picture. It is widely believed that using a broad selection of shades makes creating tone difficult but, if you know how you’re viewing the image and where the location of your light source is, tone can be achieved simply by study of your image. Work in comfort when you use the Pentel GraphGear mechanical pencil. It is inlaid with soft pads that will feel good on your fingers. Beyond that, the pencil features a dual retractor to both advance and retract your lead with ease.I have 10+ years of experience in using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, both for graphic design and for creating unique works of art as well. I hold a degree in graphic design, but nowadays I work as a freelance illustrator and a tutorial author. I specialize in creating realistic art, especially of animals, and I'm good at designing imaginary creatures in a realistic way. I'm a big fan of dragons and feline creatures!

The Range of Drawing Pencils and What They Look Like 6H H" pencils are better suited for filling the tooth or texture of the paper, resulting in smoother transitions of tone and value. "B" pencils fill the tooth to a lesser degree, making the texture of the paper more noticeable. By combining "H" and "B" pencils in a drawing, smooth transitions of tone can be developed without compromising a full range of value.

It depends on your style and objectives. If you are doing gesture-type sketches or contour-type drawings where outlines are most important, then an HB or lighter is the way you want to go. You will be able to maintain a nice sharp point for a longer period of time, and the outlines won't be easily smudged away. Take the 4B pencil and draw some tight, dark shadows on the shadowed side. Don't make them too big! Step 12 Continue where your 6B lines finished and, using a 5B pencil, continue the contour lines across the middle of the sphere. Bending the lines slightly will add definition to the sphere.

Continue by going to the right. The closer to the edge, the narrower and tighter the shadows should be. Step 9 Press harder near the edge to make the shadow gradually darker to work the fur texture drawing. Step 5 From there work up 3 grades to a 4H and work in exactly the same way to create the mid tone on top of the cube. Available in different sets filled with a wide variety of grades, both beginners and professionals swear by Derwent. You can select between soft, medium, and hard sets depending on your subject matter and people note that the pencils are easy to sharpen to a point, as well as a flat shape. This allows for detailed work, as well as shading. And the hexagonal shape makes them easy to grip.
