In this exclusive realtime tutorial, we’ll draw a dynamic graphite portrait of Kobe Bryant performing a dunk shot, sponsored by patron Juliano de Brito. Working on A2 paper with an 11×14 inch drawing area, you’ll learn how to structure a detailed figure using clean outlines, layered base tones, and pressure control for smooth gradients. I’ll guide you through shading skin tones, fabric wrinkles, and high-contrast lighting using B to 8B pencils, blending brushes, and layered highlights with Mono Zero and kneaded erasers. You’ll also learn techniques for rendering sports textures like jersey prints, basketball reflections, and footwear details to capture movement and realism.
