These two were drawn on the snow day I talked about in my last post and both show what I think is the difficulty of dealing with large areas of uniform colour when using pencils and graphite sticks. These should really be paintings or at least ink drawings but I have no skills in either! Anyway, the fact that it is difficult to depict smooth colour or shading with pencil means that you get a gritty ‘scratched’ quality. I like how every part of the picture shows evidence of which way the graphite was applied. Of course I could be wrong and there are probably many skilled artists out there who can accurately depict every shade of grey in smooth perfection using just an HB pencil and their index finger…but right now I’m chalking up my imperfection to ‘style’, ha.
