I Combined Graphite and Charcoal… and This Happened

Real-time drawing tutorials + step by step guidance → https://www.patreon.com/emmykalia

In this video, I’m drawing a realistic portrait using both graphite and charcoal, and showing how combining these can improve your results.

Graphite is great for smaller details and smooth midtones, while charcoal helps create deeper values and stronger contrast. When used together, it can make your drawings look much more realistic.

I’ll walk you through my process and share simple tips you can apply to your own drawings.
