Staedtler Mars Lumograph Ballet Pointe Shoes Artwork
This is an art piece created with the Staedtler Mars Lumograph Graphite Pencils and the Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black Carbon Pencils to help demonstrate both of these products together. Graphite is a very forgiving medium and one easy to work with on the right paper. However, occasionally Graphite can create a sheen when certain light conditions are met, this is were the Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black pencils come in and provides a matt coverage.
I have drawn this piece before with a different set of graphite pencils but this time I used different paper as well as the pencils. This time I used the Strathmore 500 Series Mixed Media Heavy weight paper and to say this paper is amazing would be a huge understatement.
To find out more about the pencils, you can check out my YouTube review of them or head over to my written review on The Art Gear Guide. I have also providing a speed drawing of the artwork so that you can watch the art come to life, I have included a surprise at the end of the speed drawing as it is connected in part to the subject of this piece. I will also be adding this artwork to my Patreon channel in the form of a tutorial.
