In this exclusive real-time tutorial, I’ll take you through the complete process of drawing a hyper-realistic portrait of John Wick using graphite powders and pencils on smooth A3 paper. We’ll start by masking the edges, adding a dark background with 8B powder, and then carefully blending it with tissue to get a clean, even base. From there, I’ll guide you step by step through shading the forehead, building realistic wrinkles with 5B pencil strokes, and then bringing them to life with perfection, mono zero, and electric erasers for sharp highlights and skin textures. The eyes are shaded with multiple layers of 5B and 9B to achieve deep contrast, followed by delicate highlights that make them shine. You’ll also see how I handle dense eyebrows, subtle beard textures, and directional hair strands, balancing sharp strokes with soft blended areas for realism. Finally, I’ll show you how to shade the collar, tie, and coat, using layering and erasing techniques to create smooth gradients and glossy highlights. By the end, you’ll have a complete breakdown of how to combine powders, pencils, and erasers to achieve realistic textures and tones in a portrait. References are included in the Materials section.
