Hyperrealism with Graphite Pencil

“Congratulations on completing this in depth course! Drawing like this has its challenges but I hope that I’ve armed you with some tools to make this creative process flow a bit easier. I challenge you to conceptualize, photograph, edit and draw something that excites you. Find a space on your wall where you would like to put an artwork up and create a drawing for that space. Start with something small: you want to give yourself the best chance of finishing this challenge. Here's an example of how I would like to see your process! Concept and Photo Reference Now, find a subject matter that you feel excited to draw. It's highly important that you feel quite interested to this idea. Then, look for some photos for reference, keep in mind the different tips and tricks I shared with you in order to make a good decision. Once you've selected the photos, create a composite image for you to use for your final reference. Lastly, prepare the image to get draw!

The Final Photo Work on your concept by using the photo references you have. Use all the tips and tricks I shared with you to work on Photoshop to achieve "the photo!" First Steps Prepare the paper with the grid method to achieve a better result in your artwork. Then map out the outline. Working On the Artwork Have fun! and start working on your drawing. I highly encourage you to begin by working in sections, that way you can a better control on the drawing. Once the first stage it's ready, apply the advanced techniques I've showed you to level it up. Finally, add all the details that are needed. The Artwork Move into the finishing touches. Remember to keep stepping back! This allows us to view the piece as a whole and unify the tone of the overall work. Finally, I’ll fix the drawing with fixative. Once completed with the work, please post in the forum for us all to see and don’t hesitate to reach out to me for advice. Use the forum to give some feedback to your fellows. If possible, share some additional tips and tricks! That way we can all keep learning together and create a beautiful community. I can't wait to see your artwork! See you on the forum, happy drawing!”
