I always enjoy the feel of a pencil moving on a surface but...… As an artist I developed a fear of perfection that develops with the fact that a rubber can erase and give more space for correction. I feel its a big problem to artists especially young artists that they fail to accept the fact that there is need to learn and study more art fundamentals like anatomy and shading with its techniques, so whenever I I get a pencil I am strict with it that I use it the same way I use ink.
It develops ones love and drive towards understanding more of what he or she is drawing rather than just focusing at making a perfect drawing with a surface understanding of the subject.
Enjoy,.............
