After using a variety of materials in this class, I have to say my favorite thus far is graphite pencil. It is just a much easier material to use. And by easier, I mean easier to sharpen, easier to erase, easier to work from light to dark, and it really allows for really sharp, crisp, clean lines. Granted, it is slightly more work to get great line variation, but not much more than that of charcoal or conte crayon.

The End.
