In pencil drawing, Mary Akin executed drawing with an instrument intended either as a sketch for a more elaborate work in another medium, an exercise in visual expression, or a finished work.
Types of Drawing Pencils
Here is a summary of the different types of pencils used by artists:
Graphite pencils: These are the most common pencils used in art and writing.
Charcoal pencils: Create dark and rough lines, but not as versatile as the other options.
Colored pencils: Similar to normal graphite pencils but in color.
Mechanical pencils: Create sharp lines and do not need to be sharpened. However, you are not able to use the thick edge of a mechanical pencil to create bold marks (like you are able to do with normal pencils).
