Lauryna Rakauskaitė creates luminous portraits that shift the idea of what a face can hold, not weight or tension, but warmth, stillness, and quiet presence.

Pencil drawing asks for patience, focus, and a steady hand. In this feature, we look closely at five contemporary pencil artists who use graphite and coloured pencil to create work that rewards slow looking. From quiet portrait studies to carefully observed figures and animals, these artists show how much can be achieved with restraint, discipline, and long-term dedication to a single medium.
