The Basic Stuff

So basically, graphite drawing is about darks and lights and how to bring them out. It's a lot of rubbing on powder with a rag, pulling it off with a chamois (a rag type thing that's made of leather), draw some detailing, erase some stuff, spray it with some workable fixative and then you're done. Just kidding...it's not that simple. If you are doing buildings or faces, you have to proportion it, or else it'll be chaos and nothing will look right and just frustration everywhere. You also have to know about the jumps between shades. In reality, it's actually pretty complicated.
