Whenever I draw, I just scratch and scratch the pencil into the paper and eventually there are no clear lines, and after I've drawn what I want to draw (most recently it was a wooded creature with knocking knees and a malignant head) I cover the whole paper in graphite marks. Nothing is clearly shaped or deigned and it's all a huge mess, and so I begin again.

Did you know that graphite has the same elemental makeup as diamonds?

This is me beginning again.
