Pencil Sketch

Some artists do not apply color to their paintings. They love to keep their creations in black and white. These creations are called pencil sketches. Different pencils like 2B, 4B, 6B, etc are used for the purpose. Portraits, sceneries, birds, animals, as well as human emotions become subject of the sketches. Though the artists do not use color to their works, yet their feelings are very well translated through the black and white texture. That dull and bright combination compliments each other, giving the painting a special brightness. The concept of shading is very important for pencil sketch painting. Also, imagination power plays a very important role behind the creation of a beautiful pencil sketch.
