Pencil drawing by John Vanderpoel (1857–1911)

A pencil drawing is a drawing that is made with a pencil (which is composed of wood and graphite).

History

Pencil drawing is the basis of all visual arts.[1]Pencil drawings were not known before the 17th century,[2] with the modern concept of pencil drawings taking shape in the 18th and 19th centuries.[2] Pencil drawings succeeded the older metalpoint drawing stylus, which used metal instead of graphite.[2]

Drawing is the basis of art education (mainly drawing from nature, educational exercises). Drawing is technologically performed using paint materials in dry and liquid forms.[3] Modern artists continue to use the graphite pencil for artworks and sketches.[2]

Modern pencil drawing

Color pencil drawing

Artist and professional-grade pencils are made with higher concentrations of high-quality pigments than student-grade colored pencils.[4] Drawings that are done by color pencils bring a more lively appearance and make them look more realistic.[5]

Charcoal pencil drawing

With the use of charcoal pencils, artists can create beautiful drawings with their hands and well-trained talents.
