The forerunner of pencil is coal. Today we have a different pencil, for all types of paper and other materials. Although the chemical pen phenomenon resulted in the competition, wooden pens still resist time. First wooden pens had incurred before approximately 6th century, when people in a U.S. city in the mines found graphite. The graphite was thicken and glued with wooden lead encrust and so the first lead pencil was created. Moreover, the pencil is useful for writing, these wooden pens were not easy for use. They were quite large, with great size lookout and difficult for tidy handwriting.
The modern look, something like today's graphite pencil we received about two hundred years ago. In 1760, the Faber family started to manufacture pencils. In the beginning, they used graphite powder as a material. These pens were not exactly the best quality, because the graphite was crumbling and was leaving a dirty trace on paper. At the end of the 18th century, people began to produce wooden pens by mixing graffiti with some types of clay. In this way, the produced pencils remained the basis for a lead pencil until the present day.
When you decide what subject you want to draw, you have to choose a technique and a material to use, whether to use soft paper or rough paper. When you do the pencil drawing, the technique that is most popular among the artist, you have to decide which fields need to be smooth and which should be rough. Pencil drawing is graphic display of some shape, items or the appearance made by graphic means - lines, stains and points. Composition of all those graphics - merging lines, dashes, stains and their mutual contrast provides a pure linearity, space and plasticity. If you use these elements and add the influence of light and shadow, black and white and use the rubber to achieve reducing of full lines.
Pencil drawing can fully complete artistic act, but it may be something that is just the step towards another form of art like painting, sculpting, and graffiti. Such a drawing is called the draft. Unlike the draft, pencil drawing is a complete, stand-alone visual record for the final act. Especially interesting pencil drawing is the act, which represents the nude human body. It is the top drawing technique and represents the final artistic act of an artist.
Thematically we can separate pencil drawings in two groups. The drawings that are a reflection of reality, because they show how good an artist is at observing some object, nature or a form and putting it on the paper. The second group is the imaginary drawings - drawings created with the imagination involved.
The essence is desired. If you want to perceive charms of drawing, take the pen in your hand and let the invisible force of universe lead you. Even when you think you have no talent for drawing, take the paper and pencil and put totally optional various forms on it. You will be surprised what a gift you possess.
