The Resistance

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. My name is Jonathan Bergeron and this is my online portfolio. Some of you might also know me as Johnny Crap, an alias I worked under for several years & still use to sign the merch I design. I live in Montreal with my wife and son and do work for international clients & art collectors. Oh, and I also like Boston Terriers because they are awesome...
