Why Start with Pencil Sketches?

• The concept of sketching out sketches prior to
  drawing has been around as long as the art
  itself. Although graphite pencils only have been
  in use since the 1800s, the concept of beginning
  by drawing a pencil has been in use over a long
  period of time. You draw on paper anything that
  is in your mind until you see something you truly
  enjoy. Sketches can assist you in developing your
