What types of pencils should I use for drawing?
I have been drawing pencil sketches a while now, but I only use 2B and 4B pencils. I decided to get more types of pencils to enhance the effects, so I need some help~
I draw portraits (I use a lot of reference, of course, I'm no great artist) , so the hair strands are kinda difficult to use very soft lead. But then I need dark and soft lead to shade, etc.
I'm going to an art supply store during the weekend, any ideas of what pencils to get?
i use any pencil i have
4 me every is da same even dough i no der not
