Drawing Techniques {Virtual Fridge}

This Week
"Drawing, properly taught, is the best way of developing intelligence and forming judgement, for one learns to see, and seeing is knowledge." (Eugene-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc 1883: p.305)

I enrolled in a new drawing course which sounded really interesting and would help with learning to draw for Nature Journaling.  The course is called Drawing Nature, Science and Culture: Natural History Illustration 101 and is presented by edX and is open for participants world wide.  This course is FREE unless you would like a certification. I have been blown away by the content and highly recommend it.

Week one's homework asked us to invest in H and B pencils which prompted us to find out more about the numerical graphite scale.   I discovered that there is no industry standard so different brand pencils can have different intensities even though the scale numbers are the same, so if you like a pencil stick with that brand!

Crey pencils are actually a mixture of graphite and clay binder.  The H and B ranking systems denote the quantities of graphite and clay within a pencil which in turn affects the intensity of colour and hardness of the pencil.
