Is it better to draw with charcoal or pencil when sketching?

If you look at the general effect, charcoal is better visually, but if you say that small details pencil is easier to depict details, you must remember that pencil and charcoal should never be used in the same work. If you draw a human head or plaster like a human body, it is better to use a pencil, because the structure is more complex, the facial structure of the person is more subtle and vivid, the pencil is easier to grasp the details, distinguish between light and dark, once the charcoal is down, it is difficult to correct, but if you paint a combination of still life or landscapes, it is better to use charcoal, charcoal is drawn with a strong sense of texture, the texture is very good, of course, if your foundation is very good, what pen to draw the work will be very charming.

If you are a beginner, then use a pencil drawing with a B number of about 3b, because the 3B pencil is moderately soft and hard, and it is easier to modify, but the effect of the charcoal pen is very good, giving people a great visual impact Of course, when your penmanship and light and heavy mastery are very good, it is estimated that it is more mastery, as long as you love to draw, even if it is graffiti, it is your own art, come on

Definitely with a pencil. There are many types of pencils.

HB is a pen with a moderate amount of hard and soft.

The larger the number, the harder the refill.

The larger the number, the softer the refill.

HB is definitely to prepare, you can take odd or even numbers to buy, in fact, there are about 5 at the beginning. There's no need to ask for a lot.

After becoming proficient in pencils, you can also use charcoal pencils to draw, and the effect of different strokes is different.

1. It's better to use a pencil when you first start learning! Easy to master! Easy to modify!!

2. Later, it is better to use charcoal after the technique is proficient! Black, white and gray are layered! High contrast! Visually striking!!

The pencil does not require as much flexibility as the pen of the user! The first class uses 4B to play the type, that is, the nib is not black and not hard! If it's too hard, it will end up on paper!

If you can't wipe it clean, it will also hinder the upward tone in the later stage! The darker the color, the more realistic it feels, so the carbon ratio is easier to achieve! But it's also easy to draw as a sticky.

You have to kick and grind it yourself, no one can draw it right in one go! More practice is king!

Charcoal is good because I think charcoal is better to draw.

But if you're a beginner, use a pencil.

It is better to learn to use a pencil at the beginning, and it is easy to master.

It's easy to grasp with pencil drawing, but if you take the college entrance examination, (in my experience) it will be a little more visually impactful! It's easier to attract the judges' eyes I'm an art student, and I'm studying at the Guangdong Light Academy! Leave me a message if you have any questions!

6b or 5b pencil.

It's better to use a pencil for beginners.

Do not use 3b or less. It's better to use 5b

Charcoal and pencils are both used for sketching, drawing pencils are suitable for beginners, and charcoal is suitable for skilled people.

If you have just learned art or are not very confident in your level, you still choose a pencil to sketch, and it is better to train basic skills; If you are proficient in sketching and are familiar with various techniques and operations, you can use charcoal, and drawing with charcoal is very artistic.

Charcoal is a wooden pen with charcoal essence as the refill, which is characterized by black color and strong friction with paper, which is not suitable for alteration, and is mostly used for sketching and portraits. Charcoal is very easy to produce effects and open up the relationship between the layers, but the ability requirements for the painter are also relatively high, if the control is not good, the picture will be very greasy, if there is no solid basic skills, try not to use charcoal to sketch.

Pencils are easy to control, but it is difficult to create a very strong picture in a short period of time, and the contrast between the images is far less intense than that of charcoal. Only H2 to B2 pencils are often used in sketch learning, and H-grade pencils are light in color, which is also easy to modify and suitable for sketch drafting; A B-grade pencil can draw dark colors of objects and save time in drawing.

How to choose pencil or charcoal for sketching? Let's start with the difference between charcoal and pencil.

Charcoal is a kind of charcoal as a refill of the painting pen, the color is dark and black, its main characteristics are poor adhesion, easy to fall off the powder, and the friction of the paper is relatively large, the eraser should not be erased, but at the same time the use of charcoal to make the picture is relatively loose, generally used for sketching and portrait training.

The pencil is divided into 13 grades according to the hardness of the refill, which is distinguished by the English letters h and b.

The h in the pencil is the meaning of hart (hard), b is the meaning of black (black), and the larger the number in front of b, the blacker the pencil, for example, 6b is darker than 4b. Pencils have HB, 1B--8B, and in sketch learning, we often use 4B, 6B, 8B, etc., 4B and other lighter colors'Pencils are suitable for the drafting of sketches. And the pencils of 6b and 8b can be used as light and dark coloring to save time in painting.

Drawing pencils are suitable for beginners.

There is such a one-sided perception that the use of charcoal (charcoal pencil) to draw sketches is faster. It is even thought that the use of charcoal during exams is a bargain for grades.

In fact, there are pros and cons to the use of pencil and charcoal. The key is for those who use the tool to master the performance of the tool and promote its strengths and avoid its weaknesses.

Draw 3-4 hours of sketching, I prefer to use pencil, because the advantage of pencil sketching is that it can be arranged in different directions, showing different textures, and pencil sketches can draw rich tonal changes.

Especially when drawing still life sketches, it is best to use a pencil, because the inherent color, layer, texture, space, and shape of a group of still lifes are more complex than those of a head. The use of charcoal is easy to make the picture hollow, dry and stiff.

Charcoal sketches are really easy to achieve. This is because the color of charcoal itself is much darker than that of graphite pencils, and charcoal can draw a range of color blocks at once. However, for beginners, using charcoal sketches often makes the picture opaque and hollow, and it is easy to hide the structural problems in the sketch.

When the viewer looks at these paintings cursoly, it is not easy to notice the problem, but when the paintings are carefully examined, they are full of loopholes.

It can be inferred from this that if the sketch marking time is extended, the score of the pencil drawing sketch paper will definitely improve. This may be the reason why most candidates prefer to use carbon pencils for drawing. When beginners have not mastered the sketching technique, blindly using charcoal will cover up mistakes, expose problems, and be detrimental to the picture effect, which is not advisable.

Of course. Charcoal does have the advantages of charcoal, especially when it comes to large-scale paving, it has obvious comparative advantages over pencils, and the overall is relaxed.

As for whether to use pencil or charcoal, it is recommended that it is best to follow your own teacher, the teacher teaches charcoal, you learn charcoal first, and the teacher teaches pencil, so you follow the pencil. As long as you are proficient in using either one, the second one is very simple for you.

In fact, each has its own benefits:

Charcoal: The color tone is distinct, and the relationship between black, white and gray is easy to open, but it is not easy to modify and depict in depth.

Pencil: The relationship between black, white and gray is not as strong as charcoal, and pencil is generally used if you draw long-term homework and in-depth depiction.

Write two sketches silently and contrast the charcoal and pencil effects. Charcoal: The contrast is strong, the depiction is not delicate enough, and it is not perfect enough. Pencil: The layers are delicate, but the dark parts are reflected at certain angles, and I am tired. Cough.
