Understanding Pencil Pressure – Drawing a 3D Sphere with One Black Pencil on Strathmore Vellum

Описание: Learn to control pencil pressure and draw a realistic 3D sphere using one black coloured pencil on Strathmore Vellum.

In this video, I demonstrate how to control your pencil pressure — from extra light to light, medium, and hard — to achieve smooth transitions, depth, and form.

You’ll see how layering and gradual pressure changes can turn a flat circle into a three-dimensional object, even without blending tools.

Perfect for beginners and anyone wanting to improve their control and realism with coloured pencils.

✏️ Materials used:

Strathmore Vellum paper

One black coloured pencil (brand of your choice)
