Indian Art - Tips on Better Graphite Pencil Sketching



A sketch is a rapidly executed unbraced sketching that is not usually intended as a finished work. A sketch may hand out a number of purposes: it might record something that the artist sees, it might record or develop an idea for later use or it might be used as a quick way of graphically representing an image, idea or principle. Sketching is very popular Indian Art

Pencil sketching marking
Mark-making is the expression we use to explain the procedure of applying pencil to paper. You can improve your pencil sketching skills by carefully considering your pencil and how it hits the page. Controlling and exploiting the potential of the mark is an important step in developing as an artist.

Keep Pencils Sharp
Chisel-point or rounded pencils are useful for some techniques, but for most pencil sketch, keep your pencil sharp. Don't worry about 'wasting' graphite in the sharpener - better than wasting your sketching hard work! Brighten the point by resistance the side of the pencil on scrap paper between sharpening. If you need a darker line, use a softer pencil, and be aware that a softer pencil goes blunt rapidly.

Use a Variety of Line:

When sketching lines, either in a linear sketching or within a consistency in a tonal drawing, note that you can vary the weight of the line by exciting the pencil or pressing harder. This might seem understandable, but it is important, and most people don't exploit line weight enough. Note the example above, which shows how exciting the pencil towards the end of the rub can be used to give a verdant or fluffy effect. It can be useful to decrease the weight as the pencil is applied at the start of the stroke, rather than dropping it straight into full pressure.
