How to do pencil art
Creating pencil art is a popular and accessible form of drawing. To get started, it's important to choose the right pencil hardness for your project, from H pencils for sketching to B pencils for shading. Next, begin with a rough sketch, then gradually build up shading and texture using a variety of pencil techniques. Remember to pay attention to lighting and detail, and refine your work with an eraser and additional touches, to create pencil art that showcases your artistic style.
