Pencil drawing

Pencil drawings were not known before the 17th century,[1] with the modern concept of pencil drawings taking shape in the 18th and 19th centuries.

[1] Drawings that are done by color pencils bring a more lively appearance and make them look more realistic.

With the use of charcoal pencils, artists can create beautiful drawings with their hands and well-trained talents.
