In response to the question regarding drawing. The Berol Graphite Pencil has the smoothest leads. You need a range of leads so you can "layer" your pencil shadings. Build the drawing (gesture, silhouette and construction) then start the layered shading with HB lead. Then go over that with 2B to darken slightly; then 4B for the darker values, etc. Finish by "glazing with HB. This will produce a beautiful, even drawing. Hello all!
I started to draw 2 years ago and it was just for fun. I always used simple school graphite pencil and paper for printers (normal paper). Now I decided to do something more beautiful. I think it would be a small picture (approx. 15x20 cm or something like that) in one color with smooth variations (something like greyscale). But simple graphite is too rough for this work - the filled paper surface is not uniform and smooth, there are tiny 'scratches' that are left white. I decided to buy more suitable instruments and bought Cretacolor NEGRO pencil, one of the smoothest. But it leaves even larger uncolored 'scratches'. Maybe I need some special very smooth paper? Or something else? So, I want to make a small picture, but it should be gradient-rich (I don't know the right term; it's grayscale for PC). Please, can you give me an advice on that?
