I will walk you through the process that I use to draw lifelike drawings with graphite pencils. I will show you my drawing and shading techniques, and share a lot of tips and tricks with you. You will learn how to sketch, how to shade, how to blend pencils and how to create photorealistic textures.By following my instructions, you will be able to practice and to learn how to draw objects and more. You can also download printable pencil sketches (same that I use in these videos), so you can draw on. This way, you will be able to compare your results to mine. I have also attached some coloring pages that I've created and the Graphite Tone Value Viewer that you can use when drawing from reference photos.I am convinced that everyone is able to draw. Only patience, right guidance, and inspiration are needed.So, join me, get inspired, and start learning!Jasmina
