I personally always associate a very liberated and dynamic type of drawing with this material, and if you approach your drawing in this fashion with the graphite you will get the best results.
You don’t have this facility with the pencil, and you will be surprised at what you can achieve with this potential in terms of mark making. Because it has no outer casing you can make so much more use of the side. It is a medium that is very versatile, and before you start to draw with it in earnest you should experiment with the potential that the medium has to offer. It is also more appropriate for larger drawings rather than smaller ones for obvious reasons. Mood is very easily effected with this medium, and it is definitely not suited for drawings of a technical nature. The type of drawings we would produce with this type of medium would be quick, heavy, dramatic drawings using strong, dark lines, large areas of dark tones, or interesting textural marks. Instead it is more suited for robust drawings of an expressive nature, and it works well together with a plastic eraser. As you might gather from the illustra - tion this type of material is not meant for detailed accurate drawings. They are in fact solid lengths of graphite that come in different thicknesses and grades of hard and soft. The difference being that pure graphite is not encased in wood. Graphite is the same medium that pencils are made of.
