Drawing Together Episode 12: This is Pearfect!

Drawing Together Episode 12: This is Pearfect!

this episode is Part of the Drawing Together live video series – learn more here

Today, I draw a pair of pears using graphite. If all you have is a regular yellow school pencil, you’ll do just fine. This one will be all about subtlety and maximizing the silver-like quality of graphite. Set up your own still life, or follow along using this reference image: https://bit.ly/2XqnLqr

Today, I’m working with:

  • White Sketch Paper (Hahnemuhle “Skizze 190”)
  • Graphite Pencil (HB, 4B)
  • Carbon Pencil (in case we need something darker)
  • Kneaded and Rubber Erasers

In this session, we’ll cover:

  • How to draw in graphite
  • Shading techniques
  • Creating texture
  • Linework
  • Subtle value control
