All of us have been good at it since childhood. Of course, for beginners, for very tiny children, it seems that it’s so easy to pick up a pencil and start “creating” scribbles.
But the child grows, and he sees that the range of application of the pencil is huge, and you can use it in different ways. Someone builds cities, bridges and houses for them on paper. Another - lays them on the map the route of a round-the-world trip. And the third writes poetry or draws a portrait of his beloved.
That's how easily and simply the pencil entered our lives and became our assistant and friend. And the pictures drawn with a pencil are already a whole trend, stylish and having their own unique charm.
Their distinctive feature is that they are absolutely universal. Therefore, their possibilities are endless. Drawn with a simple pencil, they are:

And most importantly, the pencil drawing is incredibly attractive and convincing. It can decorate not only your profile on a page in social networks, but also the morning and the whole day with pleasant memories.
Drawing options for simple images
The biggest secret to why pencil drawings are fun, original, and eye-catching is that they look like they're alive. Everything is drawn so realistically and accurately that it seems that people are about to speak or laugh or cry, and objects can be taken and used.
Why are they so cool and everything looks so natural? What revives them? Take a closer look, through light strokes it is noticeable that the master thought over not only the accuracy of the lines that convey the image and silhouette, he paid special attention to one tiny nuance, thanks to which the images are not only beautiful, but almost material. What is this? Light and shadow.
Masterfully working on chiaroscuro, the artist achieves an apparent volume. Before us, as before, are simple black-and-white pictures for sketching. But when a shadow appeared, for example, from a curl falling on the face, or on the table from a vase, everything suddenly came to life.

How to decorate a cake with fondant in the form of a picture?
To do this, you can use the image of any character that you just learned to draw or depict another character, for example, an owl.
To assemble such a cake, take:
- biscuit cakes;
- butter, custard or whipped cream;
- white mastic for the cake;
- food coloring in three colors;
- blackcurrant or raisins;
- water;
- silicone rolling pin;
You can make your own food coloring using blackcurrant, spinach, and beetroot juice.
The same dyes will be needed to give the desired shade to the mastic. But first you need to assemble the cake. Layering cakes with cream, put one on top of the other. Put the cake in the refrigerator for an hour, then roll out the white fondant, cover the cake with a sheet of this sweet flexible material.
Mastic will stick to it better if you first grease the cake with buttercream.
Trim off excess mastic, add more. It needs to be divided into 3 parts, mix a little food coloring into each. Roll out the mastic into a layer. Attach a template of an owl or any other character to it, cut it out according to this sample.
Dip a cooking brush in water, moisten some of the fondant on the cake, attach the owl blank here. Glue them all the same way.
Roll up round eyes from the remnants of white mastic. Place a blackcurrant or one raisin in the center of each to make the pupils. But pre-soak the raisins for 20 minutes in warm water to make them soft.
It is not necessary to make eyes on all blanks, perhaps some owls are turned back to the viewer.
Usually, a cake with mastic should be left in a cool place for a day so that it dries, after which it can be served.
This is how simple drawings will help decorate the cake. If you want to be the designer of your home, don't forget about accessories. And you don't have to buy expensive paintings. You can make them yourself, this will help the master class. Such canvases are created very simply, but they look spectacular.

For the body, head and legs of the girl, use one pebble each, make a skirt from the “queen” shell, after breaking off the “antennae” with pliers.
Such a picture is perfect for those who are relaxing on the sea or brought some shells and smooth pebbles from there from vacation. Such a panel will be a wonderful reminder of a holiday on the sea coast.
And you can take branches from a tree growing in the yard, but it is better to use dry ones. Treat them with pliers, removing excess.

- Album of incredible illustrations by Mattias Adolfsson;
JD Hillberry
Natural abilities and a strong desire to draw attention to his work appeared in JD Hillberry as a child. The desire and talent made the master one of the best pencil drawing artists in the world. While still studying in Wyoming, he began to develop his own technique, mixing charcoal and graphite to achieve a photo-realistic effect in his drawings. JD uses monochromatic light to draw the viewer's attention to the play of chiaroscuro and texture. Throughout his career, he has tried to go beyond realism and expression. After moving to Colorado in 1989, Hillberry began experimenting with fake drawings. Traditionally, this type of work is done in oils, but he successfully conveyed the realism of the plot with the help of a pencil. The viewer, looking at such images, is deceived into thinking that the object is in a frame, or in a window, although in fact all these elements are drawn. Working from his studio in Westminster, Colorado, JD Hillberry continues to expand the public's perception with his drawings.
Brian Duey
Brian is one of the most amazing pencil drawing artists who interacts beautifully with the pencil to create inspiring artwork. Here is what he says about his work and about himself:
"My name is Brian Duey. I was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I attended a public school in a small village called Granville, where I was first introduced to art. I never thought about the seriousness of my hobby, but discovered a strong attraction to drawing pencil at the age of 20. I was sitting alone in my house, and out of boredom I decided to pick up a pencil and start drawing. I immediately fell in love with drawing and wanted to do it all the time. With each drawing, I got better and better. I developed my own technique and original tricks as I work.I strive to create realistic drawings and add my own conceptual ideas.I am often asked what inspires me and where I learned to draw.I can openly state that I am self-taught.
My illustrations have been published in books and greeting cards, on CD covers and in various magazines. I have been doing commercial work since 2005 and during this time I have acquired clients all over the world. Most of my orders come from the United States, UK and Canada, but I also work with clients in Ireland. My paintings have been shown in galleries in the United States. In 2007, I was asked to paint a portrait of Britney Spears which was included in an art gallery in Hollywood, California. This event was covered by MTV and I became world famous. I'm not going to stop there and continue to work. I have new ideas and plans. One of my goals for the future is to publish an educational drawing book.
T. S. Abe
Although we did not find many works by Abe, her illustrations show that this is a high-class master. The artist has excellent pencil skills and skillfully depicts complex ideas using her own methods. Abe's paintings are harmonious and balanced, complex and at the same time easy to understand. She is one of the most talented pencil drawing artists of our time.
Caesar Del Valle
The artist in his works uses a special unique technique of drawing with a pencil. Caesar's illustrations not only show his talent, but also reflect the author's subtle perception of the environment.
