Realistic Pencil Drawing: Go from Beginner to Expert

via Skillshare

Overview

Realistic drawing can look intimidating from the offset, but if you go behind the scenes you'll find it's not a talent exclusive to a few, it's a skill can anyone can learn.

In this class we'll cover:

  1. What you need to succeed: the materials, resources and mindset
  2. How to practice smarter and what do to when you feel like you aren't improving
  3. My freehand sketching method for accurate outlines
  4. Using shading to represent 3D shapes
  5. Colour pencil techniques to achieve realistic results with texture and detail

I will help you identify which elements you can work on to make the most progress. If you don’t know where to begin, or you're frustrated because you can't seem to improve, start here.
