Graphite

After exploring digital art for a while, I've decided to begin exploring "IRL" art. I started with pen and ink but quickly switched to graphite.

"As practice makes perfect I cannot but make progress; 

each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward." - Van Gogh

"If your goal is to make pretty pictures, then every time a drawing does not work out the way you wanted, you will be disappointed and then less likely to pick up your pencil the next time. Instead, make it your goal to learn to observe more closely and to remember what you have seen. With these goals, every drawing will be a success and you will keep drawing." - John Muir Laws
