I like drawing on blank, white paper. Just graphite, whether it's a wooden pencil (shading), mechanical pencil (fine lines), or graphite sticks (shading with spread). Graphite is good, and easy to work with.
But I dont like to draw from scratch, they always become doodles, which mean nothing. Just random scribbles. I like having a subject, whether it's a picture, or a can (only experiance I've had, art class

), but drawing with no subject leaves me with a blank.
I probably could draw if I had an Idea, but I never care enough to ask anyone for anything to draw, and what they
do suggest, is to complicated for me do draw from scratch.
I'm not very good at proportion, but I like shading and the like.
