This step by step, follow along graphite masterclass will take you from line art to completed drawing showing you my fail safe techniques and methods for a highly contrasted and realistic portrait using graphite and the option of charcoal.
 
Graphite is what so many of us start with when we begin drawing yet like with any medium, it can be tricky to get to grips with to create realistic portraits.
 
-  What You’ll Learn - 
 
✨ Shading and Depth:
 Learn how to create depth and dimension to give lifelike, three-dimensional appearance to the portrait.
 
✨ Lighting:
Golden Retrievers have soft light fur with dark features so learn how to create depth in the light areas whilst maintaining a strong light source.
 
✨ Values and Contrast:
 Learn how to apply a full range of values from light to dark as this is so essential for creating depth. Also learn the importance of tonal balancing when creating realistic greyscale portraits.
 
✨ Details and Refinement: 
Learn when and how to add fine details without overworking the drawing. So often we can often either add too many details too early or fail to refine our work enough. 
 
✨ Understanding Tools: 
Learn how to use different grades of pencils, erasers, and blending tools effectively as these tools play a huge role when drawing with graphite as well as helping to refine details.
