Pencil drawing

Drawings created by using pencils containing lead, graphite, or another material

Pencil drawing by John Vanderpoel (1857–1911)

A pencil drawing is a drawing that is made with a pencil (which is composed of wood and graphite).

## History[edit]

Pencil drawings were not known before the 17th century,[1] with the modern concept of pencil drawings taking shape in the 18th and 19th centuries.[1] Pencil drawings succeeded the older metalpoint drawing stylus, which used metal instead of graphite.[1]

Modern artists continue to use the graphite pencil for artworks and sketches.[1]
