Sherry Camhy on Mechanical Pencils

Sherry Camhy’s “Material World” column for Drawing magazine explores ways to get the most out of drawing media. For the Fall 2006 issue Camhy has published “The Nuts and Bolts of Mechanical Pencils” (read here). The article offers an incisive history of graphite and an exploration of how mechanical pencils can be used alongside traditional pencils. Reproduced with the article are two portrait drawings by fellow Art Students League instructor Costa Vavagiakis and Art Students League student Mark Gonzalez.
