Playing With Pencil Live Demo
Last week I got busy with pencil on Instagram Live. This video is all about getting loose and exploring the marks pencil can make, rather than focusing on making a pretty piece of art.
We focus on enjoying the process of creating with pencils, letting go of the pressure for a perfect outcome. Here's what we cover:
Basic Tools - Learn about the essential tools (pencils, erasers, blending stumps, sharpeners) and how to use them in a stress-free, exploratory manner.
Types of Pencils - Dive into the variety of pencils available and how each type can add a different flavor to your artistic play.
H vs. B Pencils - Understand the difference between H (hard) and B (soft) pencils, and see how they can vary the mood and texture of your art, all while keeping it fun and light.
The Common #2 Pencil - Discover the everyday magic of the #2 (HB) pencil and how this familiar tool can be your ally in creative expression.
Playing with H and B Pencils - Learn to use both H and B pencils not just for their technical benefits, but as a way to expressively explore and relax into your art.
Shading Techniques - Experiment with shading, focusing on the joy of seeing your art take shape organically, rather than striving for perfection.
Eraser as a Drawing Tool - Find out how an eraser can be more than just a correction tool – it can add surprising and playful elements to your artwork.
Graphite Painting - Experience the unique technique of 'painting' with graphite, encouraging a free and fluid approach to pencil art.
For another how-to on pencil drawing check out this post. We played with pencil for the whole month of January. Here’s a gallery of some drawings that were created.
