How to draw skin in graphite | Tips for drawing people portraits

Описание: In this tutorial I'll show how to draw skin in graphite. The use of blending and softening techniques are just as important when drawing realistic skin as much as the use of the graphite pencils. When drawing younger, smooth skin it's important to keep everything softer and avoid any harsh lines as this can create the impression of wrinkles which we want to avoid in this kind of portrait. I hope the tips shared in this tutorial help to bring more realism to your people portraits =).
