![]() ![]() The tip of the lead can be used for fine marks but keep in mind that filing it again on the sandpaper may be needed if further broad strokes are required within the drawing or sketch. ![]() The broad strokes are made with the flat side of the wedge.įiling your pencil on the sandpaper allows you to achieve the broad stroke marks as seen in the image below. This should then be filed on some sandpaper to for a flat wedge. The pencil is first sharpened with a craft knife to leave about 1/4” of graphite exposed. When sketching the pencil itself must be held at an angle and marks made evenly, not too quickly but not too slowly either. This is achieved by sharpening your pencil and then filing the graphite (lead) at an angle to form a flat wedge that is held evenly against the paper. The broad stroke method allows you to create a variety of uniform wide marks that are very effective at communicating realistic forms that you would find in landscapes. I personally like this particular drawing style. I learned his method from his book which I’d thoroughly recommend called ‘ The Ted Kautzky Pencil Book’. When it comes to using pencils there are many different methods to achieving successful pencil drawings but the method that I like and that works for me is the Ted Kautzky ‘broad stroke’ method of drawing.
