How To Draw a Face - Narrated Step by Step for Beginners | Portrait Series #1

In this video I will show you how to achieve a portrait drawing in graphite with smooth skin texture. In this how to draw a face video, I talk through my process of how to blend pencil with tools such as brushes and q-tips to achieve smooth skin. Another aspect when drawing black and white most of us struggle with is getting deep dark tones, hopefully this video explains to you how to achieve that. If you have any further questions, please comment them and i'll do my best to reply asap.

The real-time video for this along with the full list of exact materials and tools is on my Patreon! I have been drawing and creating tutorials for over 7 years, but I have now created a Patreon where I post real-time drawing videos and extra tutorials. As an self employed artist I mainly draw human faces and animals, the real-time videos give you an insight into how exactly I draw, and how I achieve realism in my drawings. I aim to keep the price at a minimum so that everyone can afford to improve their art while also supporting a fellow artist (me)!
