Drawings 4


I haven't updated this in a while.

Here is a carbon pencil drawing I did of my grandparents as a christmas gift for my grandma.


General's Carbon Sketch pencil is probably my favorite pencil I've tried. It's soft and easily blended with a tortillon, keeps enough of a point for details, and is really, really black. I still use charcoal pencils, but this has basically replaced them for general sketching or drawing. It also works well with pastel pencils as a black.

  1. Good to see a new post, Sam! As I said on WC! I love this drawing, especially the contrast that dark hair creates with the skin. Beautifully done.
