Pencil drawing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pencil drawing is a drawing that is made with a pencil (which is composed of wood and graphite).
Pencil drawings were not known before the 17th century,[1] with the modern concept of pencil drawings taking shape in the 18th and 19th centuries.[1] Pencil drawings succeeded the older metalpoint drawing stylus, which used metal instead of graphite.[1]
Modern artists continue to use the graphite pencil for artworks and sketches.[1]
