How to Draw Wet Face | Portrait Tutorial
In this exclusive real-time tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a hyperrealistic wet face portrait, complete with water drips, sharp highlights, and natural skin textures. Starting with simple base layers in B and 3B pencils, you’ll see how to build depth using 5B–9B shading, while blending with brushes and tissues for smooth gradients. Skin texture is developed with dotting, blending, and erasing techniques, highlighted by Mono Zero and kneaded erasers, then refined with jelly roll pen details. The tutorial also covers realistic eyebrows, eyelashes, and iris reflections, along with soft-to-sharp transitions where focus shifts across the face. Finally, you’ll capture dripping water on the cheeks, lips, chin, and neck for a dramatic wet effect, balanced by a smooth graphite background. References are included in the Materials section.
