If you’ve always found drawing realistically with graphite pencils a bit of a mystery or are thinking of trying them for the first time and have no idea where to start, this course will help get you onto the right track.

By understanding the materials you should use and the key basic techniques, you can learn how to create realistic art which you can be proud of.

In this class, I will show you:

• The basic materials that every graphite pencil artist should have
• The fundamental techniques I rely on in every drawing
• An easy to follow process from beginning to end which can be applied to any drawing
• How to create accurate sketches and progress them into finished drawings

When I designed this class, I made it with the beginner in mind. I have broken down all of the techniques into simple terms rather than using technical language so it’s easy for anyone to follow. Once I’ve explained all of the materials you’ll need, the key techniques and the process we need to use, we can go ahead and draw an orange.

Most importantly, the skills and techniques you’ll pick up on this course are UNIVERSAL. You can apply this method to just about any realistic graphite drawing you like and get great results. In time the process becomes second nature and I hope it will give you a great foundation for your own art journey.
