The main thing is to take into account all the rules of working with this tool, which gives unlimited possibilities of working in this drawing technique. Of course, complex drawings are the lot of experienced artists. For people who are just beginning to master the art of creating pictures with a simple pencil, it is better to use simple images that allow you to fill your hand. Drawing with a simple pencil is a multifaceted creative process that allows you to create real masterpieces. Draw this unique tool you can almost anything. Beginners can easily transfer to paper, for example, a cartoon character or some kind of plant. Experienced artists create whole black and white realistic masterpieces that are no different from photography. They convey every detail, every emotion (if it is a portrait of a person or an animal). It is a simple pencil that can accurately convey all the shades of black and white, show the play of light and shadow, emphasize the contours. And, most importantly, even the most difficult methods of drawing with this amazing tool can be learned at will. But, let's not run ahead and talk about the simplest. Before embarking on the creative process, one should know that simple pencils are not all the same and have different hardness. In the figure below you will see a table showing the marking of pencils of different hardness. Proceeding from this, it is logical to assume that foreach image, a section of a drawing, drawing of separate details it is necessary to use the type of a pencil, especially, if it is a question of difficult works. Only in this case it will be possible to accurately convey all the nuances. In addition to the pencil, we will necessarily need drawing paper and an eraser (must be white). Now let's try to draw something simple and accessible - cartoon heroes. Drawing characters with a simple pencil on the example of the Hedgehog will help you to grasp some basic points. Also, we'll see how you can paint a picture with this tool. Initially, draw a circle, in which slightly under the slope we place the letter "A", the lines of which will serve as a guide for drawing the details. Now add some more circles, as in the picture, which will become the character with eyes, hands and feet. We add typical needles to the hedgehog, where without them, and, also, the ear and nose. Where there will be eyebrows, you need to make a slight groove. Now draw the details - shape the handsand legs, the left foot deserves special attention. We need to clearly see the sole, because the Hedgehog is in motion. After the work done, use the eraser to remove unnecessary lines. By and large, it is not necessary to observe special accuracy, and small errors in this case are completely permissible. Now we finish the glasses, eyes with pupils, eyebrowsand the language and drawing can be considered ready. It remains only to decorate. As we said before, we will only decorate it with a simple pencil, not using colored pencils. In the figure, we see just such an option. Try to repeat it yourself. this will help to understand how to convey this or that shade, which area to make lighter, and which, on the contrary, you need to darken a bit. At you necessarily all will turn out. And this character will be an excellent start for the future more complex work with paper and a simple pencil.
