When we looked into this media we were given a list of words which we had to convey using line strokes and the different thickness of lines. the words I chose to convey were banana, train-spotting and excitement, here is an example of my work;
The pencil has various different different forms & shapes. Some examples of variations are; B, 2B, H, 2H and F. the B pencils have a softer lead which made broader likes where as the H pencils are harder in dexterity and make thin sharp lines finally the F pencil is used to distinguish between the borders of HB and H pencils. When using a pencil of any shape and size it is best to hold them comfortably in your usual writing hand as this will ensure the best outcome when drawing or writing. You can either gently or firmly press the pencil onto paper, wood or other materials the move the pencil across the chosen material. This will produce a line, which the shade shall be determined by the chosen pencil and amount of pressure placed upon the paper. The pencil's shape is a hexagonal prism and when sharpened it is given the shape of an hexagonal cone. Some things you need to be aware of when using a pencil are; the graphite inside could damage your skin if sharpened to an extreme point, the wood surrounding the graphite may splinter also piercing your flesh and there could be a slim chance of graphite poisoning. I usually enjoy using pencils for work as they are erasable and easier to manipulate than other drawing materials. If I had to change one thing about what I drew it would be the inconsistency in the lines darkness and their general shapes, however my favourite part of this exercise was working to describe works using just lines. I feel my lines for excitement went extremely well and would ove to develop this further.
