Hard-soft	TM or HB	Detailing, shading of individual elements
Soft	M or B	Selecting shadows
Very soft	M6 or B6	Shading dark areas of the drawing, drawing small elements

Pencils need to be kept sharp, so you need to buy a sharpener. To keep your work desk free of debris, you can buy a sharpener with a removable container for shavings.

You will also need a high-quality eraser for this work. It should not smear graphite on paper, nor roll off much and turn into rubber crumbs. The best option for a beginner artist is a double-sided rubber eraser.

The paper for drawing with a pencil should be smooth and white. You can use office sheets for the printer, paper for drawing, and sheets for writing. It is not recommended to draw on sheets for watercolors. Their surface is rough, it will be difficult to shade graphite on it.

Examples of images for copying, tips for beginners

How to make drawings more beautiful:

You can add an inscription to the picture. Example: "You have heard more than once - SAVIOR, you have saved many lives! Please accept a loud THANK YOU, from everyone, from the whole country!"

Pencil strokes should be shaded along, not across.
You can blend the graphite in small parts of the drawing using cotton swabs.
It is advisable to use cotton swabs for shading, not your fingers. Cotton wool produces soft and neat shading. Fingers can ruin the drawing.
You can use an eraser to lighten areas of the drawing where you want to show highlights, for example, on the helmet and air tank.
You need to draw the sketch without pressing on the pencil. Rough and bright lines will be difficult to erase.
To avoid smearing the already drawn parts of the drawing when painting the background, you need to place a clean sheet of paper under your hand.
To draw people's faces symmetrically, the outline of the head should be divided into 4 parts by horizontal lines. These lines will serve as a guide for drawing eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth.

Pencil drawings should be stored in file folders so that the graphite does not stain other sheets.

You can also spray the design with a fixative spray. These sprays are sold in craft stores. If you can't buy a special product, you can replace it with hairspray with a strong hold.

It is not difficult to make a drawing for Rescuer's Day with your own hands. The main thing is to choose the right materials and tools for the work, as well as choose an interesting plot and think through small details.
