Thanks for watching!
Now this is what I call a lesson. When I see how it's done I learn better to do it myself. I don't have a liking in video tutorials where the process is explained. Show me is how I learn and enjoy the most.
A good observer doesnt need words and thats what I do too
I love Mr. Hillberry's videos. I paid to take instructions from an artist and quit after a month. The videos are exactly what I was looking for and I'm anxiously awaiting my order to get started.
perfection. I'm obsessed with his drawing videos. BEST VIDEOS EVER. You will not find someone better!
Best tutorial for drawing an eye, I've seen on you tube. TY.
+George Gunnee Thank you! If you are interested in my full length narrated tutorials you can get more information here: www.jdhillberrytutorials.com/drawing-tutorials.html
thak you very much
Agreed. The Mark Crilley one is pretty bomb too. Both are clear and precise.
I need ur full video on sketching pls
time and passion is key and it's clear this guy has spent considerable amounts getting to this point. Fantastic
You give the most useful sketching tips. My proportions have become mad crazy after watching your tip about the easy 8 line graph. Thank you!
I'm glad you are finding my tips helpful. Make sure you check out my website www.jdhillberrytutorials.com for more.
the only tutorial on internet which actually helped me to improve instantly.. all other just keep telling me techniques i know already! ... I subscribed!
I'm going to go out on a limb here and claim that I learned more from this tutorial than I have from any other speed drawing on YT. Even though it is a speed demo, it wasn't a done in 2 minutes demo where you couldn't follow along. Nicely done. Looking forward to more of the full-length tutorials on the members site.
Scott F. What I great testimonial, Scott. If it's okay with you I may put that on my website! (I won't use your whole name)
This was such a joy to watch!
More like this please!!!
You have such an artistic talent! Your art should belong in a museum or something. When you're copying a photo, I could usually never tell the difference! I hope I can be as good as you one day! So glad I came across your channel.
All those years at art school... I wish UA-cam videos were available back in the very early 90’s - great video. Knowing what the tools are and techniques is invaluable. Thank you :)
how I Draw Mahatma Gandhi😍
WOW! Love watching you draw! Makes me determined to practice practice practice!
You were one of my first inspirations, JD, love your style.
If I were to be picky I would suggest the iris is not perfectly round but the textures are perfect as always.
I haven't seen this tutorial for a while, but I appreciate it even more now than before! I've learnt a lot from the J.D. Hillberry tutorials, and I always find new great tips when I revisit the clips! Thanks :D
One of the most informative "how-to drawing" videos I've seen.
***** Thank you so much. Please check out the other drawing videos on my channel.
Wow! All these tips are actually very very helpful! I always have problem with having obvious pencil strokes on my portraits, using stumps and bamboo blender will definitely help. Thank you so much for taking time to do this!
omg man you have the BEST BEST CHANNEL FOR HOW TO DRAW ON WHOLE UA-cam!!! omg thank god I've found this channel
Thanks! If you want even more in depth, full length tutorials check out my site here: www.jdhillberrytutorials.com/

Man you're great! love the way you explained the tools. watched the whole video without getting bored. Lastly, gotta listen with rapt attetion to your suggestions too!
u r like the most amazing pencil drawing artist I have ever seen me in my LIFE!!
Hello sir! Firstly I would like to thank you endlessly for your generosity of sharing your very special talent on here with very detailed videos and so many tips, secondly, I'd like to say that you are one of the reasons that I will work hard and take time to draw :)
so have a good day and please carry on!
JD your artwork is utterly AMAZING!!! I'm gonna buy your pencil kits and tutorials!
Awesome! I thought it was a picture and it did look very realistic, BRILLIANT VIDEO!!!
Holy crap!😱 Hellz yeah!!! Solved five problems I have with graphite and drawing in this one video. New sub. Ordering your kit right now.
Amazing work! Your workshops really helped me to grow as a artist. Thanks again!
Thank you!! Fantastic !! Thank you for sharing your talent.
What a wonderful tutorial! I have learned so much from you. Thanks so much for sharing.
Purchased your tutorial, and I am learning a lot already! I was in the middle of a commissioned drawing of a horse, and I began adding charcoal after watching tutorials, and I can already see a huge difference!
+Nancy Mabry I'm glad you are enjoying the tutorials. I've seen my techniques make an amazing difference in people's artwork. I'm so happy it help you.
The moment when drawing looks better than the photo! Love this!
Thank you so much Vishvesh!

Mate I've been watching your vids today and you are awesome. I hope you don't own a camera because you just don't need the damn thing. If you can get the subject to hold still long enough, your going to have a picture every bit as detailed and realistic.
I have seen a few people who draw on the internet, that are somewhere on the scale in your league and you guys just blow me away every time I see what you guys can do.
I love art in any form so do photography and its certainly my passion in life, but to be able to create something as detailed as a photo, with your own hands and skill, is truly a gift. Thank you so much for posting and sharing it.
+Bris Embassy Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
I'm speechless. And - in awe. Stunning.
daniel nichevo I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
OMG, I feel desperate to be able drawing like JD :) It's veery amazing....! Thank you very much for the tutorial JD!
Glad I found you. I really like your work. And the fact that you are really trying to help us learn by sharing what not to do as well. I also am a firm believer that the right tools make a big difference... Thanks for sharing all the informative information in all your videos I have watched this morning. I have subscribed and look forward to more videos thanks again
Every questions that I need was clearly answered to this tutorial a short video but it really helps a lot...
Amazing talent, thanks for the details.
For my art exams I used your work as an inspiration, I had no idea you had a UA-cam channel! I'll start using your techniques to help~
I'm glad my work helped to inspire you. You can learn more about my techniques, tutorials and live drawing workshops here:www.jdhillberrytutorials.com/
IMO looks more realistic then the real one, very well done!
Thanks, Matthias!
I think the goal for realistic pencil artists should be to improve upon the reference material they are using. We can leave out distracting elements and enhance other areas to create our own version of the subject.

thats something i still need to learn, i can copy things, but its hard for me to just imagine something and draw it
This is absolutely amazing. It always fascinates me how adding the smallest amounts of graphite can manipulate a shape and make it appear to lift off the page. I have two incredible artists in my family line, my cousin and my great-grandfather. I always thought they had some sort of superpower that enabled them to create life-like drawings and paintings. The more I learn about--and practice--drawing, the more I realize that their main superpower was patience and technical skill. It takes a LOT of patience it to develop this level of skill. JD, I'd love to know if you always had a lot of patience and you applied it to drawing or if drawing helped you developed patience. This is my biggest weakness. I love to draw, but I always feel like I need to finish a drawing i 1 or 2 sessions.
Hi Jeff, I don't think I have any more patience than anyone else. People get impatient when they aren't enjoying the activity. You have to train yourself to enjoy the journey as much as the destination. Some people call this "getting in the zone". When time flies by as you are drawing you can go for hours and it feels like minutes. Sometimes it helps to do drawing exercises that don't result in a finished drawing. Try practicing getting gradual values from dark to light. That way, there isn't a real destination so it forces you to enjoy the act of putting pencil to paper.
Superb, I've followed your tutorials for a long time now. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
I'm glad you are enjoying the videos.
Love it and I will try to get as far as you get, thanks from Belgium
Wow , i loved it, great explained
Loved the video and tools
Your drawing is more realistic than the picture. Just amazing!
CrumplyPizza I think artists should always strive for "better" artwork than their reference. That doesn't always mean more realistic. Once you get good enough with your techniques and understanding of light, it opens a whole new world - rather than just copying a photo.
+JD Hillberry question: ever tried to break away from that circle...coz nothing here is tangential to the sequentia :D
Wow that's amazing!
I used to back away from drawing faces as it intimidated me, that's why I stuck to landscapes. Now, I feel with the right tools..I could give it a go! Fantastic job!
+Agui007 You never know what you can do unless you conquer your fears, learn the necessary concepts and techniques, and just Go For It! I always try to keep tow things in mind; First, it's only a piece of paper with some graphite on it and secondly, I can learn more from my mistakes than my successes.
This is amazing!!
thank you for sharing this technique sir.. this is amazing
I am new at this and your work is amazing! Just thought you should know. Thank you.
That's really cool!
I want to learn how to make those kinds of textures. This is phenomenal sir!
Your videos helped me and my drawings a lot. Thank you!😄
muito legal. ficou maravilhoso! parabéns.
JD you made something hard for me to be an easy one. Thanks a lot
What kind of technique would u reccomend if you don't have much tools? (For proportion) other than the grid technique ?
Great tutorial. Thank you.
you are so amazing I can not even begin to describe.. I am so envious of your technique right nowww!!!! goshhhh I love it
I'm glad you enjoyed this video. If you're interested in learning my techniques here's a link to my tutorials: www.jdhillberrytutorials.com/tutorials.html
absolutely awesome ! as usual... ;-)
Amazing!!!!
Just amazing
I'm sitting over here for the longest time going up in values from H-8B... still not getting the portraits to look just right... then I see this guy using the 9XXB BY ITSELF and getting these results. Thank you for the tip(s)!!
Your welcome!
Magnifico, muy bien logrado! Y ademas con la foto/modelo al lado. (Without music de fondo is better) ☺
you are extremely good at this video master!!
Amazing it's just wow
Hats off !!!!!!!
I have his new fur tutorial. It's amazing. So well done!!
thank you sir you are great
awesome! very helpful!
Good job!!!
Wow, amazing drawing!
Thanks, Fran!
it is really sophisticated.
It's a great picture. Skin surface expression method has been helped. I subscribed to you after seeing this picture. thank you
Really amazing
great technique , learn alot from your videos to improve the way i draw
Thanks! I'm so glad these videos have helped!
I've never thought to use measuring tools before. I always eyeball it (no pun intended), and my drawings seem to be pretty hit and miss. I only draw very occasionally and as a hobby, no real formal lessons, so this is very encouraging. Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. There are many different ways of using the measuring tools also. You can "eyeball" some key features first, then use the measuring tools to check to see how accurate you are. This will help you learn to be much more accurate at eyeballing it if you choose to continue to do it that way. Or, you can take some precise measurements to start with like I did in this drawing. There are no rules in art. YOU are the one that gets to choose how you create YOUR artwork.
Maravilhoso, parabéns.
Hi JD. I don’t see this bamboo blender anywhere on the internet except in your package. What is that exactly?
Really well done and helpful! What kind of paper was this and do you only work with the Kimberly 9xxb or do you also use graphites with the 9xxb?
Interesting! Where did you get the bamboo squares? Have you ever used Webril Handi-pads for blending?
absolutly u perfectttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt teacherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Loved this I hope it helps me.
actually amazing! What type of paper would you say is best to do a pencil drawing on?
Sir urs tutorial on this channel is awesome and beautiful
awesome!
It so beautiful 😍😍
Wonderful - I can not find bamboo blender in my country but I believe I can use a sand paper of lowest value (the one with smallest grains, normally used by car painters to smooth out putty before applying final color) as an alternative. I am a professional portrait artist for many years now and I must say that I have gathered some great tips from this few minutes video. Two thumbs up for you !!
I'm looking for the bamboo blender now in the USA.
I highly recommend his classes. If he can teach me to draw, he can teach anyone... Greg, from Az.
+pby1000 Hi Greg! Thanks for the endorsement! It made me laugh.
Amazing care and focus
Fantastic👋👋👋
thanks!
Thank you for this
we are improving ☺
Nice work...
Thanks for the written tips during the drawing part of the video
Yeah made it easier. I hope you are good?
Great twchniques
Showed family how "great" I'm doing, come here and my ego is somewhere between a piece of crap and... a piece of crap. LOL wonderful talents Mr. Hillberry! Ego Check.
this is the best "drawing-explain-video" I've ever seen!I love it, but how do I make a photo of the finished drawing?
wow thats amazing
Thank you +Adrian Witherspoon
I learned very much by you
What is the best paper to use?
Amazing . congratulation
This was one of the first videos I watched in the summer of 2016 it inspired to start drawing , I now how have my own UA-cam channel and facebook page, thanks for the inspiration! Great video. Where can inbuy the 9xxb pencils? I'm based in the uk?
@kyra chamberlain if you look at his realistic pencil drawing supplies video it will show you there. J.D. uses Stratmore 400 series drawing paper to just practice on because it is cheaper and close to the Archilles paper oh use the back side. J.D. uses Archilles 140lb 100% rag with the purple front on the tablet for his great pictures because it is archival and acid free so it is great for if you want it to stay white forever and not yellow.
thank you thank you thank you!!!!
