Danny Modiba aka MoseArt, is a visual art
and graphic design artist. He believes that
art, in all it’s glory is a tool that those who
have it or know how to use, can access a
spiritual state of understanding and
foresight.
He uses many mediums when producing
visual art such as pencils, paint, pastels and
digital media. MoseArt shares his works with
MAM, as a lesson to all visual art lovers.
“PENCIL
ART, like other visual art
techniques, is a well known and most
overused technique when it comes to
drawing or doodling. Depending on the
artist, one can have a complete ‘perfect’
artwork by merely using pencils of different
shapes and sizes.
Some will only use pencils as a trail for a
follow up of detailing, with either charcoal or
pen; equipment also plays a big part, the
brand of pencils, the type of eraser quality
and paper texture. Most of which are
expensive, if one is planning on buying art
tools, they must save up to buy quality,
anything else will compromise your art.
My style of PENCIL ART, is not unique, the
only thing unique is the idea behind the
PENCIL work. Not all PENCIL ART is worth
the glory and praise, firstly, one has to look at
the pencil lines, they will give you an idea of

the artist’s attitude and behaviour when
constructing an artwork.
I can go dark(aura) then light(aura)
depending on the mood and emphasis I
wish to put out. Secondly, one has to
look at the shapes made by the figures
drawn, in order to understand the artist’s
perspective in terms of their mental
format,
There are a lot of question one can ask
such as , are they square?(they have
rugged and raw perspective on many
things) are they elliptic? (smooth and
free flowing, showing feelings of
merriment and youth) are they
triangular? (focused on one point ). Art is
a voice that we all have, many neglect it,
for it is a spiritual lingo, that needs
training and intense practice.
The creativity and complexity of pencil
art is infinite. Pencil is the starting point
,and if you can master the art of pencil
anything is will be much easier to learn.
I live for art and explore all types of
format but i still appreciate pencil art
more and what i have learnt from
drawing with a pencil. Let’s not use Art
for spreading hate, propaganda or
slander. Keep making Art a daily routine;
Art Lives.”
