Pencil Sketches

 About Basic of  Pencil Sketch 

In order to start practicing your basic pencil drawing techniques, you will need to gather a few materials. The first thing you want to do is select the right type of pencil for your project. There are many different pencil grades for you to choose from, and sometimes the pencil grade of one brand may be different than another, even if they are the same number. It’s a good idea to select a case of pencils with varying grades, or choose individual pencils from the same company.

Outlines and Line Variety

When you begin your drawing, start with a harder pencil to create lighter outlines. A drawing usually has two layers of outlines. The first is a light outline that is used as a guideline to create your basic shapes. To create this technique you want to use less pressure as you press down on your pencil and draw in a slow smooth motion. You’ll want to be able to erase some of these lines as your drawing evolves.
