My intention is to draw or paint every day, but I know there will be days when it would be hardly possible. It is good enough as long as I keep trying.

PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS BY LELA STANKOVIC
About Me
Hi! I am Lela, an artist based in Toronto, Canada.
What really fascinates me and definitely motivates me to draw and paint is LIGHT. There is such a magical beauty, mysterious haziness and dreadful darkness all created simply by light.
This blog was created to follow me through my quest of “catching” the elusive beauty... seeing through the blinding brightness of sunshine and play of the dawn shadows... and reawakening an urge to touch and feel.
I welcome everyone to join me in this journey of discovering light and documenting its presence among us through my simple, small world of art & creativity... Enjoy!
I would love to hear from you! Drop me a mail at: lelacreations@yahoo.com

Hi,
I am really surprised with the contrast you have in your sketches and the realistic effects you have acheieved just with pencil.
Are these roses all of the same kind?

This looks like a Black & White Photograph of a real rose. I cannot believe the kind of contrast and shades this has. After observing it for some time I realised that this is not a photograph but a pencil sketch.
Hi Mark,
I am glad you like my drawings … thanks for looking. Pencils I use are graphite drawing pencils of different hardness. In general hardness goes from 9H (very hard, creates very light line) to 9B (very soft, creates very dark line). My range is 4H-9B. In addition by varying the pressure while drawing the range of possible values gets even wider. It is not possible to get pure black with graphite, but you can get quite close with 9B pencil.
Roses are all different and each drawing design is unique. White, yellow or light pink roses look lighter while red or purple roses look much darker.
Lela
