In class we begin with drawing free hand lines. we then did a gradient of each of our pencils so we could clearly see how hard and what effect each pencil gave.
We then moved on to simple shapes. drawing triangles, squares and circles. we developed these by drawing the 3d's of these shapes. I learnt that I prefer to work with mid to soft pencils as its easier to create shadows and highlights with these pencils.
