HB I use this for very light line drawings on smooth paper. It can work really well for preparatory drawings as it does not leave too much graphite on the page that could dirty any paint/watercolour painted on top. It has limited tone/shading capability but it’s especially good if you’re a beginner and feel a little unsure when starting your drawings and sketching. 2B I use this as my general drawing and sketching pencil. It’s great for sketching out, planning and blocking in the main areas of tone/shade. 6B Great for adding in substantially darker tones/shading that will make your drawings and sketches come to life as a contrast to the lighter shades and white paper. 9B I love my 9B pencils and they usually shrink in size very quickly.

Menlo Park Art. We tend to call any piece of architectural sculpture that depicts animals a gargoyle. Strictly speaking, however, gargoyles are decorative waterspouts that preserve stonework by diverting the flow of rainwater away from buildings. The word, gargoyle, derives from the French gargouille, or throat, from which the verb, to gargle, also originates. Although the sculptural waterspout originated in Antiquity, it grew in popularity on Romanesque structures, especially during the Gothic period. Grotesques, while similar in appearance, serve a variety of other practical and ornamental functions, as corbels or capitals, for instance. The term, grotesque, can apply to any fanciful human or animal form, especially when it indulges in caricature or absurdity.
