Materials

Pencil

A pencil is a very useful tool in all aspects of Art & Media. A pencil a very diverse tool and can be used in many ways some of which are listed here:

- Sketching ideas
- Developing sketched ideas
- Creating a base drawing which you then fill with colour
- Creating a  graphite drawing with high detail

The lead of a pencil can be sharpened to give it a very accurate edge. In affect insuring your work is to an accurate level in comparison to hand-movements and gesture.

May different shades of pencil may be obtained. The measurement that this is kept in goes from H(being hard/light) and B(being soft/dark).


In my own work:


I find the pencil to be the most useful tool in art and media. Purely for the fact it's so diverse and creates a brilliant foundation to improve your work upon after sketching out a basic design. I used it to create multiple designs even if it was simply very lightly sketching the lines of which i was to place a different material.
