Origins and History
Contemporary pencil drawings have a rich history that dates back to the early 15th century. During this period, artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo used pencil sketches as a means of visualizing their ideas before creating their final works of art. Later, in the 19th century, the use of graphite pencils became widespread, leading to the development of modern pencil drawings.
