In this exclusive realtime tutorial, we’ll draw a hyper realistic life-size portrait of a homeless man on premium 350 GSM paper with an 18×20 inch drawing area, focusing on powerful textures, fine wrinkles, and dramatic contrasts. You’ll learn how to build accurate outlines using the grid method, create smooth tonal bases with graphite powders, and layer depth with B, 3B, and 8B pencils. The lesson covers every intricate detail—from sharp forehead folds and textured skin to beard and mustache hairs using indentation, plus fabric and eyepatch highlights for added realism. Along the way, you’ll master layering, blending, and advanced erasing techniques to achieve lifelike skin, hair, and clothing. References are included in the Materials section.
