Detailed Pencil Drawing
For an in-depth pencil tutorial see Creating Pencil Portraits

Pencil was layered in criss-crosses before blending. Then the artist highlighted with a putty rubber.

The artist used a soft pencil (9b) which has a wide tonal range and blends easily.

Tonal accuracy is vital in realism, and depends in part on the smoothness of the paper (here, Bristol board).
The Three Graces - Pencil Drawing - Raphael (1483-1520) This sensitive group portrait demonstrates the artist's underlying knowledge of anatomy and weight-distribution.


Olive Trees in Mountain Landscape - Pencil Sketch - Van Gogh (1853 - 90) - This animated pencil drawing suggests that the artist perceived rhythm and pattern in everything he saw.

Self Portrait - Pencil Drawing - Rembrandt (1606 - 99) This sketched portrait demonstrates a wonderful freedom with the pencil and intimacy with the subject.

Grotesque Heads - Pencil Study - Da Vinci (1452 - 1519) These energetic portraits reflect the artist's desire to break free from the restraints of idealism in art.
