In this video, I’m going to show you some simple tip and technique to help you draw better realistic portraits.

The methods and techniques that I teach in my videos are drawn from drawn from many different artist teachers whom I learned from, as well as my own personal experience.

But for this particular series, I would say that Lee Hammond and her books has had the most impact on helping me with realistic pencil drawings. I’d like to thank her for sharing her knowledge.

If you like these techniques, I highly recommends you check out more of Lee Hammond’s teachings at her website:
