Today we’re talking about value and contrast in art, and how I was able to master both of those concepts to draw realistically.
This is my very first official art lesson, I hope this can be helpful to any artists who are in the process of mastering charcoal and/or graphite drawings!
p.s all animations in this video were hand drawn by me in Procreate :,)
materials in using in this video:
charcoal pencil: General's Charcoal Pencil - Black, 2B
graphite pencil: Graphgear 500
eraser: Tombow MonoZero Eraser Round
paper: Strathmore Smooth Bristol Paper
iPad 13 + Procreate for animations and supplements :)
