Tecniche artisticheAll About Graphite Pencils
The simple pencil is what great people use to create great art. Sculptures, architecture, and symphonies start with a humble pencil sketch or note. You will get to start your masterpieces with quality drawing pencils of different point strengths, and mechanical pencils, too.
Pencils have two main components: a graphite core, known as the lead, and a plastic or wooden body that encases the lead. Some pencils have an eraser at one end. Modern pencils got their start in Roman times when lead was used to make marks on papyrus. Modern pencils do not actually contain any lead; they are made with nontoxic graphite. A large deposit of graphite was discovered in England in 1564 and quickly replaced lead, as it leaves a darker mark. However, graphite is very brittle and requires a holder to prevent it from breaking. Graphite pieces were first wrapped with string and then later inserted into hollowed-out wooden sticks: thus the wood-cased pencil was born.
In the early 1900s, pencil manufacturers needed new sources for wood. Incense cedar from Californiaâs Sierra Nevada mountains was found to be a superior wood for pencil manufacturing and soon became the top choice for quality pencil makers around the world. The incense cedar woods are harvested on a sustained-yield basis. Sustained-yield means that the annual growth of the forest is greater than the amount of wood harvested from the forest.
Hardness
Depending on how hard the lead is, pencils make different marks. A hard pencil lead leaves light, fine marks that are great for drawing precise details. A soft pencil lead leaves dark, heavy marks that are typically used for filling in large areas, or for shadows. It mainly comes down to personal preference which leads you choose to use; you have to play around to figure out what works for you. Not all pencil leads are created equal, though: they vary in strength, smoothness, smudge resistance, and hardness.
My preferred pencils, and the pencils used in this book, are Tombow drawing pencils, which offer superior, extra-refined, high-density graphite. They are super smooth when drawing and shading, making it easy to create perfect graduated shades. They have a high point strength and are break resistant. Smear-proof lines help produce crisp, clean drawings with the added value of slow wear for smooth, dense writing. They are available in point strengths from very hard, 6H, to very soft, 6B. You can use your choice of pencil while practicing the skills in this book, but keep the pencil quality in mind as you shop.
According to the European scale system, pencils are graded âHâ (hardness) and âBâ (blackness), with an accompanying number to describe how hard or how black the pencil is. The more Hâs you have, the harder the lead and the lighter the lines. The more Bâs you have, the softer the lead and the darker the lines. The designation HB occupies the very middle of the scale; this is the lead in most mechanical pencils because of its suitability for writing. Thereâs also F (fine), which is between HB and B, and which makes dark, fine marks.
Holding a Pencil
The first step to successful pencil drawing is controlling the pencilâs movement so every mark you make works toward creating the effect you want. The best grip is the one you already use. Trying to change your grip artificially is probably the worst thing you can do. However, many people ask me the proper way to hold a pencil, so here are a few recommended grips. Try to learn to use these as naturally as possible.
The basic tripod grip is most likely what you use for writing. You control your grip with your fingers, and it is an ideal way to hold your pencil for drawing. Your hand rests on the table for support and the upright position of the pencil allows for accurate shading with the tip, rather than the side.
The extended tripod grip uses the same hold as the basic tripod grip, but with the fingers further up the pencil. This is a comfortable way to hold a pencil for drawing and allows for more freedom and a light touch when shading.
