I love carbon pencils. I love the smoothness, but I also love the depth of colour that you'll never get from graphite.I should end this post right here, you know. Otherwise I'm just going to start muttering on about texture, and... well, what the heck. One of the main reasons that I don't usually paint (besides the fact that I have the brush skills of a five year old) is that touch and texture is a huge part of the doodling experience for me. I can easily spend an hour in an art store just fondling paper.
Yep. Not kidding there. I fondle paper.
The texture of the paper, the feel of a good pencil; the whole thing's pretty visceral for me. When you combine decent paper with something like a carbon pencil I'm completely in art geek heaven.
I don't even care that the sketch is nothing to write home about.
Well, I don't care much, anyway.
