INTRODUCTION

The pencil is perhaps the most flexible and forgiving utensil for writing, drawing, scribbling, and scrawling in the history of human creativity. In fact, the pencil is the most common of all writing and drawing tools, and its impossible to imagine a world without it.

What makes this tool so unique and useful? In a word, graphite, a soft claylike mineral. Graphites malleability allows it to be sharpened to a fine point. It also makes it possible for a pencils tip to be formed with both a sharp edge and a wide shape. This flexibility allows for a great range of markmaking. Due to graphites softness, the mark the pencil makes is significantly darker than that of the drawing tools that preceded it. Before graphite pencils came into use, artists used metal styluses with copper, silver, or lead tips that made much lighter marks.

The pencils phenomenal mark-making range is the subject of this book. Well explore its full range of possibilities and discuss its refined precision and bold, expressive capabilities. Well look at the myriad ways that contemporary artists are making use of it today. Well also look at how the simple pencil became responsible for some of the greatest artistic achievements from the sixteenth century onward.

All these things point out the most remarkable thing of all about the pencil: that the humblest and least expensive of art tools can be carried in your pocket with a sketchpad, taken anywhere, and is always ready to help you create works of the highest potential genius.

1564

The largest graphite deposit ever discovered was unearthed in Cumbria, England. At first, the mineral was thought to be a soft type of lead, and the association stuck: We still refer to pencil lead, even though there is no lead in pencils.

1565

Conrad Gesner, a Swiss naturalist, is the first person to study and describe graphite.

LATE
1500s to 1600s

Graphite is used as a lubricant for cannons and other armaments. It was also sawed into sticks and used as a tool for marking sheep, which led to the discovery of its possibilities for drawing. Its artistic uses soon became apparent.

1600s to 1700s

The first drawings in graphite were called Plumbago drawings. They were done primarily on vellum, as preparatory drawings for engravings. Early Dutch and British pencil artists included Simon van de Passe, Nicholas Hilliard, Isaac and Peter Oliver, and Abraham Blooteling. Later, Thomas Forster is thought to be one of the first artists to make drawings in graphite purely for their own sake.

1790

Joseph Hardtmuth in Vienna mixes clay and graphite powder, making the pencil more widely available. His company, Koh-i-Noor, was the first company to copyright the mass-produced pencil. (Earlier pencil-manufacturing companies, such as Faber-Castell, existed in Germany, but were using pure graphite imported from England.)
