In this exclusive realtime tutorial, I’ll show you how to draw a realistic dog portrait using only the most basic tools like pencils and erasers, proving that you don’t need expensive materials to achieve amazing results. Working on smooth 250 GSM paper with a 9×9 inch drawing area, we’ll go step by step through outlining with the grid method, shading with graphite powder and pencils, and finally erasing to create fur, whiskers, and natural highlights. You’ll learn how to build a 3D base, control pencil pressure for depth, and use simple strokes for realistic textures, making this an easy and practical guide for any pet drawing.
