In this exclusive realtime tutorial, we’ll draw a hyper realistic portrait on premium 350 GSM Gruppo Cordenons paper (9×14 inches), though any smooth chart or bristol pad will work. After masking the borders, I’ll guide you through creating a precise 1-inch grid, outlining with 8B strokes for curly hair, eyebrows, and facial features, and adding indentation lines for bright highlights. You’ll learn how to build 3D bases using graphite powder, refine skin textures with dots, strokes, and wrinkles, and layer highlights using perfection, mono zero, and electric erasers. Each step focuses on balancing depth, softness, and shine for lifelike results. References are included in the Materials section.
