Why Graphite?

Or pencils as they are more commonly called! I have been using pencils from as far back as I can remember. When I was a boy in Catholic School I remember drawing as the nun would ramble on about religion and the classes behavior during “Milk Break”. I was constantly drawing with pencils because that is what I had. Somewhere in my teens I discovered that there were actually different types of pencils…dark ones 4B and light ones 2h, wow I can get darks without pressing so hard! I would continue drawing with pencils into adulthood. Now that I am older, I still love pencils! They are basic and they help me transmit exactly what I am trying to convey. I hope you enjoy my pencil drawings as much as I do creating them!
