Graphite is a versatile and widely used medium in art, primarily known for its soft, smooth texture and the ability to create fine details, shading, and gradients. It comes in the form of pencils or sticks, with varying degrees of hardness, ranging from very soft (6B, 8B) to very hard (H, 2H). The softness or hardness of the graphite determines the darkness or lightness of the marks it produces. When used in drawing, graphite allows artists to achieve a range of effects, from precise, sharp lines to soft, velvety shading. It is often favored for its ability to create tonal depth and realistic textures, making it a popular choice for portraiture, still life, and landscape drawing. Its subtlety and versatility also make it ideal for sketching and underpainting for larger works. Featuring THREE tiny pieces of $100 art from each artist! Born in New Orleans and raised in the San Francisco bay area, Dave Correia has been drawing his entire life. At an early age, he was administered a steady dosage of comic books, horror films and video games; all of which have had strong influences on his artistic style today. His drawings are often tedious with detail and washed with de-saturated yet subtle color. He has described his work as therapeutic and frustrating all at once. Dave's illustrations were widely seen in the successful Scion XD Little Deviant advertising campaign. His illustrations were used in numerous commercials, print ads, billboards, websites, posters, vehicle wraps and various guerilla marketing strategies. Aside from his freelance artwork, Dave also self-publishes and exhibits his personal work at various comic shows and art galleries across the country.
