Hand-Drawn Self Portrait
Hand drawing has always been one of my favorite art to do. There’s just something about drawing on a real piece of paper that just cannot be replaced by technology. I love seing how two of the simplest things (pencil and paper) can produce some many different and complex works of art.
Drawing is the artist’s most direct and spontaneous expression, a species of writing: it reveals, better than does painting, his true personality.

Here are some of my favorite pencils to draw with:
- Staedtler Lumograph Graphite
- Koh-I-Noor All Metal Lead
- Lyra Rembrandt hexagonal design pencils (economical option)
- Derwent Lightfast Pencils (for coloring)
What should I draw next?
- Car
- Landscape
- Portrait
- Celebrity
- Me again (probably not)
