Hi! How are you all doing? I wanted to share some of my thoughts for today. Honestly I have several graphite pencils which differs from grades. I have them since I start pursuing Architecture, but I haven't tried to make portraits out of this pencils. Today, I only try using two grades from this pencil, 8B and HB. For a further explanation of this pencils, grades tells how light/hard and dark/soft a graphite pencil is. Graphite pencils have a H or B grade. H grade pencils makes light shade and it is hard pencils while B grade pencils makes the darker shade and it is softer pencils. From my past weeks artworks, I used a mechanical pencil.

As I make art everyday, I still want to explore every possibilities I can make out of my materials. In this sketch I'm trying to make a semi-realistic one. I hope you like some of this informations and some of my portraits! <3
