Practice: Graduation with graphite pencils

Today, for my weekly drawing exercise, I chose the graduation lesson from Carol Rosinsky of Toad Hollow Studio.

I liked the detail of her explanation and the attention required by this small exercise. It is definitely a right brain exercise, too slow and uninteresting for the left brain; but in the end, the smoothness of the graduation is a valuable result, if you blended it well.

It makes sense to practice this exercise with different square sizes and angles.

Have fun!
