A&D 113 GRAPHITE
Graphite: The graphite pencil in its manufactured form, is a versatile drawing media. 9B is the softest while 9H is the hardest. Graphite lends itself to contour drawings and building linear notations, and tonality through directional hatchings and cross-hatchings. With soft pencils, it is possible to use various techniques: direct application, smudging (stumping) and dissolving graphite into a wash with solvent. Other variations are graphite sticks, and powdered carbon.
