‪@BMDPortraits‬ Shares how to draw, layer, shade and blend realistic skin tone using graphite pencil. You will see my new pencil technique where i use a different pencil to achieve darkness and high contrast that graphite pencils may not achieve. Also, i did this video as drawing tutorial especially for beginners in using graphite pencils. But this drawing technique is just one alternative to drawing using graphite. The graphite pencil brand that i use is the Mitsubishi Hi-Uni and the dark pencil is the Conte' A Paris Pierre Noire.
