Let's start by using a very soft pencil, an 8B pencil. It's one of the softest. Let's do a basic gray. As you can see, as it shades, the gray is going to be very rough and displays a lot of texture because the pencil is very soft. The tops of the texture on the paper will pick little bits of graphite - this is a graphite pencil, the black pencil 8B - so B pencils are very bland, very soft and very grainy. If you make a line with them, they tend to be very BLACK, very BOLD and BROAD. Now, let's start with a medium pencil, after the soft one, let's try a medium one. This is an F pencil. F is relatively similar to HB. If you come across an HB on your range, it's similar to an F. So, again, we do the same sort of gray, but if you compare, it's going to look somehow smoother than the B pencil. You won't see the texture as much. And if you make a line, it tends to be finer, and somehow a little bit fainter than B pencils. Finally, let's use a very hard pencil. This is a 6H. H pencils are very HARD. They're also good for HIGHLIGHTS. If we try to mimic the same gray, you don't really see much of a difference. Maybe on camera, it's not going to be possible to see this difference. In reality though, you could see the lines that this hard pencil creates. It somehow masks the texture of the paper, so it tends to look a little bit smoother. And if you make a line with this pencil, it tends to be lighter and finer than any of the other two pencils we've used before. As such, you can always use a very soft pencil to draw things that are coarse in their texture, for example, rocks or sand. And you can use a very hard pencil to try to shape things that should be smooth, like for example, glass or a baby's skin. Visit www.nelson-ferreira.com for art classes in London, UK.
