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.
