@alesia_krotko_artist: In hyperrealistic drawings this effect can even work in a positive way. It reminds us that we are looking at a handmade drawing, created with graphite, not a digital image. Instead of completely fighting the shine, we can control it. If the shine is too strong, it can be reduced by choosing the right paper with a more matte surface, which does not polish the graphite so much. So the shine of graphite is not only a technical feature. It is also part of the natural beauty of the material. ✏️✨
