Description
Some tips and tricks in general:- put a paper under your drawing hand, so you don’t smudge anything
- use a reference that is as large and detailed as possible (for example in this case: 2500 X 1600 pixel)
- take your time trying out brands and pencils (I prefer Faber Castell)
So, this is my promised skin tutorial. To be honest it was weird to do, because I’ve never paid much attention at how I draw. Analyzing my steps was pretty interesting.
Most of my pictures aren’t that detailed like you can see here. I just did it to have a good example for my tutorial. How many details you put into the skin depends mostly on your reference.
Please be also aware that this is just my way of doing it. It can be right for you, too, but maybe for you a different way works better.
As always, if you have any further questions feel free to ask
This is a tutorial for my picture Sam Worthington .

Great tutorial! I like faber castell as well and am trying to get into more realistic pieces and I like how you broke this down.
Do do you ever use the H value pencils? I never use them for drawing, are they of any use in shading and texture?

Thank you Sometimes I use it for sketching, but only if I don't have a softer pencil available. I guess it's more for technical drawings (architecture and such things).

Hey darling, that amazing! I'm trying to learn how to do realism and portraits, im still not very good at it, but since i just love to do it i will keep trying, which leaves me to a question, when you started to draw were you like a pro right in the beginning? and another question is, which kind of paper do you use? Thank you very very much is was helpful!

Thank you No, I certainly wasn't a pro right from the beginning (and I think I still have much to learn). Here, some of my old works: link
I use just ordinary printer paper. There is nothing special with it. In my opinion it's more hekpful to have good pencils than good paper. My favorite brand is Faber Castell.
