In this exclusive realtime tutorial, we’ll draw a hyper-realistic portrait of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson using simple graphite tools and shading techniques. On a 10×15 inch drawing pad, you’ll learn how to create smooth gradients with graphite powder, build depth with B to 8B pencils, and add lifelike textures for skin, hair, and wrinkles using kneaded and mono zero erasers. I’ll also guide you through layering techniques for realistic highlights on the forehead, nose, lips, and neck, along with adding subtle textures for skin and blending backgrounds for extra contrast. By the end, you’ll have a powerful, high-contrast portrait that captures both likeness and expression. References are included in the Materials section.
