Every day at school, I teach students the art of drawing. Now that
school has started this fall, I'm back in my classroom teaching students to see and draw
Line
Shape and Space
Texture
To shade for light and shadow (Value)
Yes, it can be pains taking. It can take a long while to accomplish what the eye sees.
It takes time and perseverance to achieve the sense of 3 dimensions rising from a 2 dimensional surface.

While I do love color - I also love the simple beauty of graphite drawing!
