Creating My Pencil Art
In order to achieve the result I wish for, my pencil drawing basics consist of good quality graphite pencils on high quality textured paper.
Most of my graphite pencil artworks are drawn on watercolour paper. I like working on this medium as the paper is a good weight and I enjoy the texture.
I naturally prefer to work on paper that has a texture or grain rather than a smooth surface.
Taking advantage of the paper qualities, I allow the grain pattern to show through the pencil work by working with a light pressure.
In this way the effect creates a texture that adds interest and gives a natural look to the fur movement.
Alternatively, I can also make a solid area by using a hard pressure to create shadows and dark contrasts in the drawing.
In this way the animals come to life with their own unique characteristics.
I hope you find something that connects with you in the pencil drawings of animals I have shared – and be inspired.
