Thank you for this. I tend to come back to your tutorials every once in a while and it reminds me to draw from my heart and not get so caught up in my head.

I see many tutorials that sped up the drawing. It would be helpful if you could draw in real time explaining what pencils you are using along the way and what you are doing

Hi Lynne. I would recommend a HB and H, 2H, 4H, 6H, 9H. It suits the way I draw. I have a link in the video description section. All my materials are listed there. Take care 😊🙏

Dave Porters Art I will check what I hA rice never used them, I use mostly 2 and 3 and 4 b with sometimes up to 6b, none of my pencils go any higher than that something I’ll have to,look into

This is the way (with graphite) I started with drawing 5 years ago. After that I bought color pencils and pastels in pencil and soft ...last week I bought the set of 80 pan pastels. (For only € 299.-)After a artist block I want to make a new start. Now with this new materials I have to 🤭😉... your pasteldrawings helped me to ‘ wake up ‘ again...thanks for that. 👍

Hi Piece... I always say it take as long it take. Time is like poison... it can freeze us with fear. I would suggest not to be concerned how long it take... all the power you will every need is here and now in the present moment. Let go of expectations and you will find it will just flow from you and just happen. 😊🙏

I am in my late 50 s now and always love to doodle draw, I started to draw portraits especially people who I know but I really struggle capturing a family members eyes, even though the socket and surrounding area is in proportion and the eyes ,but they do not look like there eyes this then throws the hole face of from looking like them, its so frustrating it makes me want to give up the whole thing,I don`t know if its my shading or using the wrong B or H pencil lead its driving me mad, Do you have any major tips to capturing the eyes correctly I am so envy of artist who draw well I would love to be just as good,

@DavePortersArt

Hi there, I have found that the values and edges ( some edges have soft a line, some have hard, some have lost edges) I would make sure your values are right... compare each shade with each other, should do the rick... squinting your eyes to see the values will work for this. Piece to you and all the very best! 🙏

@@DavePortersArt Thank you so much for that valuable advice, you are so correct, after looking at my portraits Iv noticed I have over penciled in the lines all the same thickness and color pencil , Gone to heavy in with the B number pencils as well under the top part of the eye on to the eye ball to much shadowing , and line to thick, I need to keep the pencil sharper and come up on the H numbers on most areas, I also now realized once you advised I defiantly need to not draw in the whole lines and learn to fade out where possible, Mine made them look like when I drew my first ever face, so far from being realistic, I also find that I should pay more attention to the small details that are around the eye to capture there own personal traits, That works great squinting I looked at the photo and the shadowed areas were almost blacked out,that`s a cool bit but great knowledge to know I now did a bit more studying into the shades how white back ground can trick the my eyes into thinking the area is darker and a shadowed surround area can make the slightly tone paper look whiter than it is, I think I need to get my self a gradient colored shade numbered card to place against the photograph to check the shades correctly Ive also noticed majority of the time artist used the edge of the point keeping the pencil light on the paper, So why don`t you artist use a lighter grade pencil instead!! is it when you draw lines in you are actually sketching the line so you need to see the line but it lays on top of the paper lighter rather than dig in to the paper, Thank you again appreciate the advice,
