In this exclusive realtime tutorial, we draw a hyper realistic portrait of Cillian Murphy on A3 paper (11×14 in drawing area) using graphite powders and pencils. After building an 11×14 grid, we map accurate outlines, shade the background with HB powder, and construct the hat fabric with 8B and B line work and mono zero highlights. The face is developed with layered 8B bases, blending, and selective highlights using perfection, mono, electric, and kneaded erasers; eyes, pores, lips, and eyelashes are finished with dot and stroke textures and gelly roll accents. You’ll learn precise grid setup, smooth powder bases, fabric and skin texturing, realistic eye and lip rendering, and contrast control for depth. References are included in the Materials section.
