Description

In this Class I will show you how I shade these eyes with graphite pencils to create a realistic look.

This Class is part 2 so make sure you watch Part 1 here first: 

So after you watched part 1 and you are happy with your sketch it’s time to start shading. For me this is the fun part because this will bring your drawing to life. I will show you step by step how I do this and which materials I use.

Material list:
Bristol smooth paper: Caran d’ache graphite pencils:
CretaColor black pencil:
Eraser Pencil perfection 7056:
Kneaded eraser:

For this drawing I’m using the caran d’ache grafwood pencils. and I will only use the 3b.5b and 9b.
Of course you could also use other graphite pencils. 

So let’s get started! Oh and don’t forget to share your work in progress and final drawings in the project gallery for feedback 🙂

You will learn

For the final project you can make your own drawing. I attached the reference photo I used so you can practice with me. 

Try to take your time and build up your layers gradually because if you rush you will see this in the end result.

And dont be discouraged if it doesn’t work out right away.. remember that it takes practice first if you are a beginner… When I first started I drew as many eyes as I could. I practiced with the shading first then studied where the shadows and highlights should be… You could watch others draw and learn from them but then its up to you. and the best way to improve yourself is to just get started… don’t draw full portraits right away but draw 1 eye first and as many times as you need until you feel comfortable with the result. Draw, practice, learn from your mistakes and draw some more… Good Luck :)
