If I had to condense everything you need to know about graphite pencils as a beginner into a single video, this would be it.
We’ll cover:
The essential materials you’ll need
My go-to process for realistic results
How to build up tones and textures step by step
To demonstrate, I’ll show you how I applied these techniques while drawing a simple orange - the perfect subject for practicing smooth shading and realistic details.
This video is a shorter version of my full Graphite Pencil class on Skillshare, where I go into much more depth and include a class project. If you’d like to follow along in more detail, you can get 30 days of free Skillshare membership here: https://skl.sh/3NQLVmB
