Pencil Drawings
Pencil drawing holds a central place in the history of graphic arts, used for centuries for sketching, study, or as a finished work. An accessible and precise medium, the pencil allows clean lines, subtle shading, and meticulous control of detail. Today, pencil drawing takes many forms, from figurative to abstract, including representations of the human body. Pasturo explores these fields through abstract, figurative, and nude compositions, while Yaki Li develops a resolutely abstract language.
Beyond its ease of use, pencil drawing offers remarkable technical qualities: it adapts to multiple textures, can be combined with other media, and retains its clarity over time when protected. Noël Granger works within the figurative tradition with scenes of sport and daily life, while Franciszek Starowieyski creates sketches inspired by architecture, where lines and perspectives structure the composition. These approaches illustrate the versatility of this age-old technique.
Pencil drawing appeals to both collectors and art lovers for its ability to convey observation and imagination with precision and simplicity. Whether portraits, landscapes, architectural studies, or abstract compositions, each work reflects mastered skill and a clear intention. Exploring our selection of pencil drawing is an opportunity to enrich a collection with original, unique, and lasting works, rooted in a graphic tradition that is constantly renewed.

To create realistic pencil drawings, start with a light sketch, use a variety of pencil grades, pay attention to shading and texture, and practice regularly. Also, study the subject closely and use reference images for accuracy.
When choosing a pencil for drawing, consider the type of lead, hardness, and darkness. HB pencils are versatile, while softer leads are better for shading. Mechanical pencils are great for precision, while wooden pencils offer a traditional feel. Experiment with different types to find what works best for your style.
When working with pencil drawings, it's important to avoid pressing too hard, using the wrong type of paper, not sharpening your pencils, and not blending properly. These mistakes can lead to smudging, tearing, and uneven shading. Always use high-quality materials and take your time to ensure a polished final product.
