Wow!! Thank you so much for that detailed post. I recently started drawing again, so you post is very helpful for me.I currently practice simple drawings with a HB pencil and I would love to try to draw more difficult stuff (eventually I hope to be able to draw portraits like the one you posted, but I still have a long way to go).
What pencils and blending tip are a must have? What my starter kit should include?
@helenril Makes me happy to know you appreciate the effort I put into these.
Here are all the tools I use.
The best advice I can give you is this. "It takes 10,000 miles of pencil lines to become a master"(or as Macklemore says in the song 10,000 hours ;D) the philosophy can be applied to any skill. Just means keep at it. Everyone will do things a little differently.
How ever if you have something specific you would like help with I would greatly appreciate you letting me know what that was and I would gladly make a post trying to address the matter. Thanks for reading through, cheers!
I really enjoy it, so I don't mind how long it will take me to master it.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. Now I know who to address my drawing questions :)
Cheers
