Working with Thin Strokes. A common technique for general drawing is to build up tones using thin strokes rather than blending or shading Here I used an HB grade graphite pencil on drawing paper TJ)e outlines were drawn first, t/jen the tones were added.
Working with Varied Strokes. An outline drawing with an HB grade graphite pencil was done first, then lighter tones were sketched in. Darker tones and black accents were drawn with the 2B grade graphite pencil. Zigzag and Crosshatch strokes were used. I

Working with Broad Strokes. For this sketch I used a 4B grade graphite peticil with a wide, flat lead on
soft,
drawing paper The flat shape of the lead allowed me to ran the weight of the lines. The thinner edge of the lead was used for finer lines and the wider portion for shadow
Working with
Parallel Strokes. The tones used here are created through the use of lines drawn in the same direction, parallel to one another. This technique requires that the lines be spaced relatively eien to ensure aflat tone. I used an HB grade graphite pencil.
