Description: If you'd like to learn to draw realistic portraits, I hope you'll consider attending one of my live drawing workshops. If you can't make it to one, please consider getting one of my online drawing tutorials. In this video I demonstrate some of the drawing techniques and concepts I'll be teaching in my upcoming portrait workshop. The subjects has white hair, a white beard, and a dark background. You'll learn why I chose to have a graduated background value from dark to light.I also explain one of the main reasons you could be having a hard time getting your pencil drawings to look realistic. It's a very common drawing mistake and as soon as you realize you're making it you're one step closer to avoiding fixing the issue.
