These instructions for drawing with graphite sticks are brilliant. There is so much you can do with graphite. In this easy graphite drawing tutorial about landscape drawing, I'll explain how, by using the edge of the graphite stick, you can create wonderfully imaginative marks on cartridge paper. By twisting the graphite stick on its edge really creative lines can be created. If you are learning to draw or want to expand your drawing techniques, you should get hold of some graphite, because it’s brilliant.
The tutorial starts by demonstrating the type of marks that can be made with the graphite stick. By twisting your wrist and varying the pressure you apply to the graphite stick, wonderful marks and lines can be created. The tutorial then demonstrates how to use the multitude of marks created to draw a simple landscape drawing. The drawing consists of a gnarled tree created by twist and flicking the graphite. Fence posts are also drawn using the same technique.
The easy drawing arts tutorial is aimed at beginners to drawing and those students and others wishing to improve their drawing techniques.

I knew once I touched a graphite stick there was SO much potential to be had, but I just had no idea how to unlock that achievement.. that is until I found this LOVELY MAN! What a wonderful personality you’ve got sir, I can’t thank you enough for how much this video has helped me. I’m so grateful for you I subbed and liked as soon as the video finished.

@katrinamae3510 3 года назад

I'mma just a beginner.. Umm what's the difference between charcoal and graphite??

@PaulPriestleyart 3 года назад

Charcoal is a matte dark drawing material that crumbles easily and is often used for expressive marks. Graphite is a slightly shiny material, usually in a grey that is used commonly in pencils and sticks for most writing and drawing applications.

@rainysandy 4 года назад

Is charcoal and graphite the same medium? Can they be used in the same manner? Or is graphite totally different?

@PaulPriestleyart 4 года назад

Graphite is different from charcoal but both are carbon based. Remember that graphite is the material you find in every pencil.

@user-hw8nr3mu8e 3 года назад

Can you use this also to fill in large areas on a Bristol board? I’m having trouble with filling in large areas with my 2B pencil (having lots of visible stripe marks when shading). I’m drawing comicart by the way.

@PaulPriestleyart 3 года назад

You are pressing on too hard and not being consistent with the pressure if you are getting stripes. A little more subtlety with the pressure should help. Cheers

@user-hw8nr3mu8e 3 года назад

@@PaulPriestleyart thanks for your reaction! I really appreciate it. The marks always happen when I’m filling in areas after each other. My favorite artist can do this without any marks and I don’t understand how. Here’s an example: www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1639052.

@user-wc9pf1ff8y 4 года назад

when i use the edge of the graphite stick on my paper not all parts are covered by the graphite and it looks really grainy? instead of a smoother look like yours :(

@PaulPriestleyart 4 года назад

The graininess can be cause by rough paper which can give a great textured effect.

@teresasmith3050 5 лет назад

Dear sir,perhaps you can help me with something? I've been looking for a white pencil that draws over charcoal. I saw it on another video of a lightening storm but the guy won't answer. I was hoping you would let me know what kind of white pencil does that. Needless to say I have a bunch of white pencils that don't work if you are in need lol.

@PaulPriestleyart 5 лет назад

Not sure, have you tried a white pastel pencil? You can get them at most good art stockists

@teresasmith3050 5 лет назад

@@PaulPriestleyart thank you for answering. I just ordered one from Amazon that claims to draw over charcoal. That remains to be seen if not I will keep looking.

Really can't fathom how this is supposed to be for beginners. You move way too fast and I don't feel like I'm learning much at all. I tried copying what you're doing but with little success. I was only able to copy the beginning, but even then I don't know what I'm doing. I'll just stick to pencil for now.

@PaulPriestleyart 3 года назад

It's just a matter of practice, you have to keep going. Good luck
