Pencil it in

20+ years ago I had the patience (and the eyesight) to produce careful and accurate pencil drawings...

I was looking through my old work and came to the conclusion that I needed to tag all the images with the medium so I could find particular pictures more easily. So here are a few of the pictures with the "pencil" tag. As you can see I was concentrating on outline, using the quality of the line to show the form - the complete opposite of following the form as I was talking about the other day. (I was taught to draw by Oscar Thomsett who was a Slade trained draughtsman - he could do freehand what I faked with a series of guidelines which got rubbed out at the end).
