Art is the only way to run away without leaving home, anything you imagine is real....
Most times when inspiration doesn't come to me, I go halfway to meet it.... "You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use work of art to see your soul".......

This are some beautiful quotes that motivates my alot when ever I want to push my limits..

So without further adoule let's move into our main business of the days..

STEPS I TOOK WHEN DRAWING MY REALISTIC PENCIL PORTRAIT..

If your a newbie or your an art lover and you wanna try something like this , it's very simple just pick up your pencils, cardboard paper and start drawing with a big smile one your face..

*STEPS 1
(Day 1)

I got a needle point paper , then I measured my grid lines by 1.5cm each boxes, after doing that I had to grid my references photo... Once I finished it up I used my HB pencil then I made I sharp sketch of his face on my paper... During this process I took my time to sketch it so his resemblance will come out.. after sketching it I brought out my charcoal powder then I started shading...

*STEP 2

I used my pencil directly to outline his eyes, then I used my brush to bend in the pencil lines.. after that I picked up my charcoal powder and started blending. During this stage I was very careful so I could avoid a dirty background.. I then used my blending stump to blend his eye leads and his other eyes softly..

*STEP 3

During this stage I moved to his nose and his upper check..I used my kneadable eraser to bring out some white outlines on his face so it could look soft..

I then took alittle break so I could rest and eat abit, cause I wouldn't advice anyone to draw with an empty stomach.. the last time I tried drawing without eating it didn't turn out well at all... So after eating I had to rest...

*STEP 4
(Day 2)

I used my charcoal dust to blend his lower chin, after doing that I still applied my charcoal dust again so it would look alittle dark and Realistic..

*STEP 5

After i got the texture I wanted, I used my pencil directly to his lips and I used to brush to blend in the shades of his lips and his teeth.. then my major challenge her was making his beards look very Realistic, so I used my powder and made some dark shades then I used my eraser and brought out little highlights, after doing that I used my pencil do darken some part so it would look real... After I did that the results I got was beautiful and I loved it.. then I moved to his hat, I used my pencil directly and made some shades on it..
