Pencil drawings have a beauty and quality of their own. No artist scales great heights withoutpractising pencil drawings or with charcoal sticks.Pencil sketches fascinate us fromchildhood.Regular practice with pencils is essential for an amateur artist and also forcartoonists.
Equipment
Pencil drawing and sketching require the simplest of equipment:have a pencil and a white orlightly colored paper.Have an eraser and pencil sharpener...that is all.Types of Pencils: You can have a range of pencils:Soft ones: B,2B,3B,4B,6B,8B....You dont need all these ,may be B,2B and 4b -three pencilswill do.Hard ones: H,2H and so on.Just H will do for most work.Above all, bulk of the work will be done by the daily #2 or HB pencil.This is a 'compromise'pencil....You can use this one only most of the time and perhaps soft ones to make sweepingstrokes and some shading.You can also use mechanical pencils [0.5 mm or 0.7 mm leads] for quick work.Carry thisalways in your handbag.Used envelopes are great for quick sketches.You may like to know what pencil brands are good for high quality 'professional" pencildrawings....well ,over the years I have tried several brands of graphite pencils: Generals,Prang-Dixon,Steadtler,Fabre-Castell....My favourite has been Steadtler...But the difference betweenthis and other brands may be very small.If other brands are less expensive,go forthem.[Among colored pencils,you have a wide choice.See my article on colored pencil drawingsin Scribd.com]I am a bit of a stickler for good quality erasers.Do not use red,rubber eraser.Use white eraseror better,"ART GUM" eraser or kneaded eraser for smooth erasing.As for pencil sharpener,use simple hand-held one.May be ,you can have a battery operatedelectric one.The choice is yours.Papers: For professional quality drawings,use the papers made byRising,Stonehenge,Strathmore,Bristol, Canson, Fabriano and others.The papers must not yellow,be 'acid-free' and the paper must withstand some rubbing by eraser.Preserve the pictures with a spray of fixatives from art supply stores.There are very thick pencils and also flat pencils used by carpenters or triangular shaped pencilsfor children..If you wish to hold easily for big drawings,try thick ones.Any school supply storehas all these.
Size of drawings:
In the inital stages,draw big ones;give your hand free movement;dont attempt 3in x 4in.....Start with 9inx12 inches or bigger...Your aim should be to capture big,bold areas of darkness and light.Look for big 'masses'...details will come later.If you draw two or three bigobjects to depict ,rest will follow..For instance,draw a big basket with one or two fruits stickingout.
Tonal Values
The biggest advantage of practising pencil drawing is to learn to see and depict tonalvalues [different shades of darkness or greyness] in a picture.This you learn from pencil work,because the aspect of color does not confuse or distract you.While artists make detailed analysis of tonal values, keep it simple.I suggest 5 levels:1First look for really dark regions and draw their contour on the sheet with a thick,B pencil.[saydeep shadows under the eye socket or nose in person standing in bright light or the sun;shadowof chimney on the roof,;dark window,shadow of trunk of a tree;2 Second, look for white or bright regions;draw their contours...Later you will leave themblank...do not touch pencil there.!3 Third: Look for zones of middle values---this is important...There will be several small

Pencil Drawings Of Crosses Biography
Cross was the third son born to English-born parents, Theophilus Edwin Cross, builder and architect,[1] and his wife Florence, née Stanbrough,[2] who met in Brisbane, married in Sydney then sought their fortune in the United States. His father hoped to make money there but only found work as a carpenter (he became secretary of the American Carpenters’ Union).[3] Cross was born on 3 December 1888 in Los Angeles, California.

The family returned to Australia in 1892[4] when Stan was four years old and settled in Perth, Western Australia. Cross was a gifted student who attended Perth High School on a scholarship.[1] The University of Adelaide offered him a scholarship but Cross turned it down due to his father's ill-health.[2] He left school at sixteen and joined the State Government Railways Department as a clerical cadet.[4] He studied art for a number of years during the evenings at Perth Technical School. In 1912 at the age of twenty four,he resigned[1] from his job and with the financial assistance of his brother he travelled to London to study at St Martin's School,[5] during this time some of his cartoons were accepted by Punch.[4][3] Before sailing for England he exhibited his paintings and pen-and-ink works twice in Perth, the first with the West Australian Society of Arts at their 1913 Annual Exhibition, and the second in March 1914, with another Perth artist, Michael McKinlay.[1] On returning back to Perth he contributed freelance drawings to the Western Mail and The Sunday Times,[4] and whilst working as a railways draftsman in 1918 when he was offered a job by Ernie Brewer of Smith's Weekly at ₤5 a week. Cross accepted the position and moved to Sydney in 1919.[1]
On 31 July 1920 Cross' first comic strip, The Man Who Waited was published in Smith's Weekly, this was followed in the next week by the first episode of You & Me. Originally a satire featuring the characters, "Mr Pott" and "Whalesteeth", designed as a means of offering political comment. It was however quickly converted into a domestic humour strip. Cross continued to draw the weekly strip for nineteen years until he left Smith's in late December 1939 when the strip was taken over by Jim Russell in 1940 and renamed to Mr & Mrs Potts.[4]

Fantasy artists use imagination as a basis for their creations, they utilize some form of realism, cleverly intertwined with the extraordinary to create powerful art. Fantasy artists often use precise techniques to realistically portray the texture, structure and lighting of objects from reality together with imaginary elements, (monsters, wings etc.) challenging our perception of of the world and stretching the boundaries of our imagination. Pencils, because of their accuracy can be daunting but equally beautiful, ideal for photo realism to cartoons and obviously, fantasy art.
As fantasy art often demands realistic and precise drawing I am concentrating on more refined drawing techniques, although I will briefly touch on sketching skills.

Getting Started
Once you have decided on your subject, you will need to choose the best techniques and materials for your work of pencil genius.
Pencils, a Brief Overview
Pencils range in hardness and blackness from 9H to 9B. Pencil manufacturers use the letter "H" to indicate a hard pencil and "B" to designate the blackness of the pencil's mark. The letter "F" indicates that the pencil sharpens to a fine point. 9H pencil is the hardest pencil available. 9B is the softest pencil you can get and it will create the darkest lines. My ‘pencil kit’ ranges from 2H to 2B, but I recommend using up to a 6B for deep shadows and bold, dark lines. You will find that any harder that 2H is quite difficult to use and may create dents in your paper.
For fine details, you will often require a sharp pencil, or a mechanical pencil. Using a sharp or mechanical pencil with keep all your strokes fine and small.
Paper & Other Materials
You will also require good quality paper, an eraser and a sharpener. Make sure you have a clean and uncluttered desk to draw on, or if that is impossible or you are outside, draw on a solid clipboard with a bulldog clip to stop your paper from flying.
You might find the kneaded rubber eraser to be an invaluable tool for eliminating erroneous lines and softening tone as you have a lot more control than a generic rubber. Using a patting technique you can gently lighten areas which are too dark, or to harmonize incongruent tone. (Or you might find it a complete waste of money, as personally, I hate kneaded erases, they are too malleable, and when molded to a fine point never stay that way.)
Your papers’ texture can drastically determine the kind of drawing you will create, and may require different pencils. Drawing realistically, with plenty of details requires smoother paper, characterized by not very much tooth (texture) so that the individual pencil strokes are barely evident. Rough paper holds more graphite than smooth paper, allowing your drawings to have deeper shadows, and more contrast, though the grainy texture of rough paper makes it difficult to render fine detail. Drawing on smooth paper requires softer pencils to create dark shades.
Medium paper give the best of both worlds (purchase it if you are unsure of your own preference), paper with enough ‘tooth’ to grasp the graphite without producing a metallic sheen, but smooth enough to allow for the application of relatively fine detail. I draw on 100% cotton Rag paper, which is long lasting and gives me the freedom to watercolour my drawings.
Holding Your Pencil
To draw with a pencil skillfully you must be able to hold your pencil in a comfortable position where you have optimal control. If you have pain in the hand or shoulder after a long drawing session, it could be an indication of holding your pencil ‘incorrectly’. Don’t grip relentlessly to your pencil, and drive it into your paper with your entire body weight! The paper is not your enemy, soothe it with delicate, beautiful pencil stokes and it with reward your poise with a lovely drawing.
There is no real ‘correct’ way to hold a pencil when drawing; it is a matter of personal preference, and comfort. Experiment with different grips (perhaps the way you hold your fork or maybe in a similar way to how you hold chopsticks).
Drawing Techniques
The technique you use will habitually be determined by the initial purpose of your drawing, or the aspirations you have for the illustration. Sketching for a watercolour would require an entirely different technique than that for a detailed photo-realistic drawing. You have most likely seen the techniques cross-hatching, circles, scribbles and contour lines and you may have even experimented with a couple, but have you ever completed your final work with these techniques?
Before you start experimenting make sure you know…

Dragon Pencil Drawings Biography
Dragons have always been a object of sheer fantasy for creative souls. ‘Lets Sketch Dragons! Showcase of Dragon Sketches’ is a collection of pencil sketches by professional as well as armature artists from around the world, who have let their imagination carry them away to the mythical world of dragons and their wrath.
What do you do when your new best buddy has been designated a scourge by the community and marked for imminent extermination? Just ask Kenny Rabbit. When the simple folks in the sleepy little village of Roundbrook catch wind that there’s a dragon running loose in the countryside, they get the wrong idea and the stage is set for a fight to the death. So it’s up to Kenny to give his neighbors front-row seats to one of the best-known battles in history – the legendary showdown between St. George and the dragon – without losing a friend in the fray.

School Library Journal
Grade 3–6—Kenny’s father brings home a fearsome description of an enormous creature: “…one of them flying things that eats pretty maidens and burns castles to the ground.” Instead of being frightened, Kenny, a curious and well-read rabbit, wants to meet the beast. His father, not too bright in some ways but quite sensible in others, is sure Kenny can handle it, but Kenny’s no-nonsense mother insists, “Dishes and homework first.” What follows is a delightful riff on Kenneth Grahame’s classic The Reluctant Dragon, starring a dragon named Grahame that can delicately torch crème brûlée with the flames from his left nostril and has no interest in killing anyone. Before long, rumors and fear create a mob mentality among the local townspeople, and Kenny has to come up with a plan to prevent the retired dragon slayer (George, of course) from killing Grahame. This is a fun story with substance. At one point, Kenny wonders, “How can they want someone killed they don’t even know?… How can George just blindly do whatever the king says?” The civilizing influence of literature is another theme that has relevance for today’s readers. Lively pencil sketches add to the charm. The author’s reputation will enhance the popularity of this solid fantasy.—Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, IL

Realistic Pencil Drawing Biography
Drawing as any other craft can be a quite gratifying and satisfying encounter, however for some it may well be also daunting a job to prevail. It can take a good deal of perseverance, character and determination to truly finish a drawing program and benefit from it. Before I go into specifics about one particular of the ideal pencil drawing courses on the web, I'd like to mention some fundamentals one must be informed of when starting out.

Certainly it would be not smart to assume speedy results right from the start. As they say perseverance makes perfect and that is just what is essential right on the onset- practice. Your drawings of faces ought to often convey models' character. Because every single face is different you need to use several methods to achieve the ideal volume of realism. Charcoal pencils operate very best. With a mild finger contact or a tissue you can accomplish a lot a lot more variety in shadows and shading that it may look. Aside from the obvious equipment like a pencil, sharpener and eraser there are a lot of distinct varieties of paper to decide on.

Try them out and see which suits you finest. It is advisable to use a special tape to mount the paper to the drawing board. It is really practical particularly when using tools like ruler or circle compass. Kneaded eraser is a different useful piece of tool applied for precision erasing. Last but not least every good rookie pencil drawer need to be outfitted with a fixative. It is a sort of varnish that will fixate your efforts after you are content with them and prevent from damage, liquids or smudging. I've seen expert artists starting their drawings from various face characteristics. However, for beginners it is recommended to commence drawing by outlining the oval of the face with two lines- horizontal and vertical running inside. Subsequent step is to outline the eyes, nose, mouth and ears.

Drawing hair is generally the penultimate stage in the procedure. Finally we draw neck and the rest down below. As I pointed out at the beginning you might want to have a butchers at this pencil portrait drawing mastery course that many rookies are currently raving about. By no means am I implying to be any good at drawing. I'm just a humble pupil of Chris Sia the guru who is the creator of this great training.

Pencil Drawing Of A Girl Biography
ohn De Andrea was born in Denver, Colorado on November 24, 1941 and is an American sculptor, who is known for realistic sculptures of human figures; dressed and nude in true-to-life postures.

He is associated with the photorealist, Hyperrealism, Verist and superrealist schools of art. De Andrea is known for extremely realistic polyvinyl or polychromed bronze casts of the human figure.

De Andrea received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Colorado at Boulder and studied at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque on an art scholarship, 1966–8. He lives in Denver.

He is an artistic representative of Hyperrealism and the Hyperrealism school of art,and specialized in nudes, frequently lovers, which he builds from plastic, polyester, glass fiber with natural hair and painting after naturalistic gypsum castings. The subjects were people from his close environment, as a rule, friends and studio models. In casting their bodies and casting the mold in different materials, showing all the forms and surfaces most accurately, the artist pursued the intention to record the authenticity and uniqueness of the individuals.

John de Andrea's work is often seen in connection with the work of Duane Hanson (1925-1996) and George Segal (1924-2000). In documenta 5 in Kassel 1972, his work was represented with life-size pencil drawings of a nude young man and a nude young woman as well as a sculpture from polyester resin, manufactured after body castings, which represented a pair in the act of love-making. Examples of his work are to be found in the Museum Ludwig in Aachen and Cologne, Germany.

Realistic art

Most of his works document young women. Groups (for instance an older woman and a younger girl, both lightly clad) are rare, although some pieces of amorous couples are well known (example: naked woman and dressed man in Aachen) and in a few pieces he did an artist and model at work in which the artist is always dressed, and the model always naked.

Realistic art is of course judged in relation to the realism, which of course, can never reach reality; therefore to a certain extent this program already carries the risk of failure right from the start. Regarding John de Andrea's work, the figures often resemble dolls and people do not regard realistic works automatically as art, even if the technical skill of the artist is admired as such.

Amorous couples

De Andrea's exhibition of lovers at the Documenta 5, excited substantial attention. The meaning of this work actually is not to be found in the provocation or in the unveiled representation of sexuality, but in the obvious and equally outspoken human problems of the couple. The work induces feelings of misfortune, misery and pity.

This alienation between the lovers and their incurable misfortune becomes even clearer with the work shown in Aachen. The man is not only fully dressed and the woman naked, but she clings to him, while he touches her only minimally, in order to not induce an open rejection.

Sculptor and model

In contrast his works based on the sculptor and his model are characterized by a sober, professional relationship between the man and the woman; the artist concentrates on his work or rather is shown in situations, where he withdraws within himself to a meditative posture, and retreats upon himself, in order to collect his energy and concentration for further work.

Looking closely, it can clearly be seen that the artist wants to bring the true core of the individuals portrayed to the surface. In the sculpture exhibited in the Museum Ludwig in Cologne in the 80s; in contrast to his other models; the model is black and has an unusual body insofar as her breasts are quite large.

Pencil Drawings Of Love Biography
I first came to love art as a child.  Watching my Aunt Avenell Benedict in the small town of Glenwood, Ar. painting her oil landscapes and hearing the instruction she gave her students inspired me.  She inspired me in so many ways.

She taught me to love God's creation;  His people, His creatures, His world.  My Aunt Nell taught me to see things differently as other do.....to see things as an artist would see them.  God's beauty is every where;  we just have to open our spiritual eyes.

I went on to study fine art and interior design at Lousiana Tech University in the mid 1980's.  My art evolved over the years moving from medium to medium.  Starting with simple oil paintings, watercolor and pencil drawings.  Loving form and shape and having a sense of three dimensions I began sculpture of people and horses.  All gave me a sense of peace and accomplishment.  But I have now returned to my first love, oil painting.  What a challenge!!

Feeling restless and needing to understand and capture light in nature using the medium of oils, I have attended several workshops under master artist.   I believe in studying under master artist that inspire you.  Watching your teacher mix color, manipulate the brush on the canvas and sharing insights they have discovered....is priceless.  I believe that we are here to inspire, teach and share our gifts and talents with one another.  Only studying theory in an art class, is to only recieve part of the lesson.  God blessed me with placing the right people, at the right time in my path.  I only hope and pray that I can in turn inspire, teach and share my gifts with others.

I have a passion for great art and creating great art.  As with any artist, I can become very frustrated in my attempt to create what I think is great art.  It must be what drives the artist to continue learning and kindles inspiration for new ideas.  I truly love painting.  I love watching broad, bold strokes of color on the canvas create beauty.  I truly pray that I inspire you by my work and bring you to a place of peace that may be a memory or of a place yet to be.

Pencil Drawings Of Guitars Biography
Pam Belcher is strictly a colored pencil artist. She draws a variety of subjects - whatever suits her fancy at the moment. Pam is especially fascinated by the wondrous patterns and colors found in nature and man made objects. She has been working in colored pencils since 1995. The slow laborious medium suits her working style perfectly, and she usually completely enjoys the process. Sometimes it does become a bit much!

Pam was born in New York, grew up in Denver, and after high school moved to the Seattle area. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Washington State University in 1975, and also attended Burnley School of Graphic Design for further education. She put her art on hold for awhile when she went to Norway for a year in 1981 with her new husband, Ed, who was a visiting scientist working on helium speech unscrambling. Upon returning, she spent several years being a stay at home mom. When her son was in elementary school, Pam offered to help out with art projects. She was immediately put to work and taught a weekly art lesson. It was then that she discovered colored pencils. She started drawing seriously, took a few workshops, read millions of books, and joined the Seattle Chapter of the Colored Pencil Society of America. In that group she met a large number of generous, talented people who have become valued friends and continue to help her hone her craft. Pam also enjoyed teaching drawing at the Northshore Senior Center in Bothell, Washington for fourteen years.

Pam has exhibited widely in the Seattle area as well as in several national exhibits. She had a piece featured in the Best of Colored Pencil Volume 5 by Rockport Publishers. She has two pieces featured in Strokes of Genius 2: The Best of Drawing Light and Shadow by Northlight Books. Pam is a member of the Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA) where she enjoys Signature Status; she is President of the Seattle CPSA District Chapter 207. In 2007 she was juried into the Women Painters of Washington. Besides drawing, Pam does some web site design, and recently retired from working part time doing graphic design and website upkeep. Pam and her husband Ed, a retired electrical engineer, have one son Ken, a guitarist in Los Angeles.
