Drawing of Katie ...

I did a drawing a my oldest, Katie this evening. I used a carbon pencil. LOVE those pencils!  They don't have wax in them like graphite does so there is no sheen in the light. And it draws super dark if you want to like a charcoal stick.  I'm always wanting to make my darks darker and I never can with graphite. The heaviest shaded areas are always dented from me pressing too hard. Not any more!  Love it, love it.

  1. Beautiful drawing. I've never used a carbon pencil--I'll have to give it a try!
