How Bennie Woods Draws Using Graphite Pencil

Title:  The Hunter

 

Portions of the hair and other areas are done in a 7B pencil.  Other areas range from F, 2B, 4B, 2H, 3H.  I would not get the values if I only used one value of pencil.  I also use three different brands of pencil, pencil powder, as well as alternate style of pencils whereas I get various results.  I work the negative as well as the positive areas and create negative areas out of my positive areas.  I never touch  my work.  I choose my level of detail depending on the look I want to create.  I also prefer soft edges; as it creates a more dramatic effect and sometimes to accentuate the hard edges. 

 

Drawing is not an easy task.
