about pencils and how to use them

Thu Jan 22, 2009, 3:02 PM
Again, Im writing in my journal. Back to drawing board (well, tablet :)), but this time something very important. How many times Have you seen art by others and say "how on hell can they do that with such precision and such a beautiful line". Even knowing all the anatomy in the world and having the best reference doesnt make you draw amazing pictures. There is always that lack of graciousness and originality that some artist draw and you say to yourself "OMG this is a real artist...".

Well there is trick to make your drawings better. And that is to use the pencil correctly. Don't press it hard, I mean it's a matter of drawing slow and at the same time going over the lines all the times needed, If you need to redraw over 30 times do it, but dont press hard.

I discovered this after years of hard pencil pressing, please take your time and use the pencil patiently, it pays at the end of the day. My drawings have improved since then.
