Course Overview
Learn how to layer graphite/charcoal pencils, create solid tones and wonderfully smooth gradations, and draw like a pro!
Drawing Photorealistic Portraits With Pencils provides a comprehensive breakdown of procedural technique and offers succinct, step by step guidance for creating stunning photorealistic portraiture using graphite and charcoal pencil. You'll get an opportunity to complete a full portrait from start to finish and learn professional methodology to take forward into your own art journey. The drawing process is divided into 10 episodes for easy digestion with each segment being narrated from start to finish. In addition to this, you'll learn...
Why it's important to use a full range of values in your portrait art.
Why we need to use different pencil sets to showcase a full value range, and how to layer them in sequence.
How to create solid tones and super smooth gradations.
How to choose great reference photos, along with tips on how to improve patience.
Tips on how to make small adjustments to the final photo, ready for your gallery folder or social media post.
Knowing how to utilise a full set of values is foundational for rendering photorealistic portraiture, but if you place deep black charcoal directly on top of graphite, the contrast will look too stark, so you'll learn how to layer different pencil compositions to maintain a consistency in tone and keep all values in harmony with one another.

Very useful course ! It will really help you . Not perfect , as I expected more guidance on portrait sketching at the beginning -it is focus on shading and blocking forms but still the information at the course will really help you improve and in really short time !
