Pencil ✏ Portrait @xcountytravelers

Joining the steem blockchain has really been a blessing to me and my talent. I have met with so many amazing people who have been so supportive, encouraging and have created time to guide me on how to thread on this blockchain. In appreciation, I decided to start making a portrait of them and here, I have been able to achieve creating 6 now. This very portrait am showing now is for @xcountytravelers

I so much appreciate everything you have been doing to put me through here. Thank you so much. This is a sequential picture tutorial on how I made this realistic pencil portrait on concord paper

Materials used

Concord paper
Mechanical pencil
Graphite pencils
Charcoal pencils
Charcoal powder
Kneaded eraser
Cutton bud
Tissue paper
Mechanical eraser

In making a hyperrealistic drawing, the following steps must be followed:

1. Making of grid lines on the paper with a mechanical pencil and a ruler
2. Outline the image of the picture you want to draw following it box by box with a mechanical pencil
3. You can start the shading with your graphite pencil and charcoal pencil depending on the tone of the picture.

In following these steps, you can make a real pencil portrait drawing. This was the same step I followed in making this portrait.
With love and an artistic view on life until next blog ,when I will be showing and giving more illustration though the making of a good 3D effect portraitures.
