The technique is one in which silver is used instead of graphite to make a drawing. The following text is not an attempt to describe silverpoint drawing as done by the old masters, but rather my observations as to contemporary methods of using the silver stylus and the types of surfaces used today. Even though silverpoint drawings do not have a dark tonal range, they can be used effectively for scientific illustrations, particularly if they are used in conjunction with carbon dust and graphite pencils.
该技术是一种用银代替石墨进行绘画的方法。以下文字并非试图描述古代大师们所采用的银尖笔画法，而是关于我对当代使用银笔的方法以及当今所使用的绘画表面类型的观察。尽管银尖笔画没有深暗的色调范围，但它们可有效地用于科学插图，特别是如果与碳粉和石墨铅笔结合使用的话。
