Great work! How do you get your darks so dark with graphite? Every time I use graphite, it never seems dark enough even if I layer and use the pitt graphite.
The way the graphite is layered makes a massive difference. I always build up my darker values gradually. The Pitt graphite, is that the matt pencils? I have a set but haven't used them for a full project yet but I prefer to work with the Derwent Graphic pencils because they erase really well unlike the Pitt graphite from the small test I did.
Wow! Great tip about the erasers and layering. That was very eye opening to me!
So pleased the video has been helpful =)
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
My pleasure =)
Amazing, this is a wonderful tutorial ❤

Hi Zara, thanks for this. Are you also using a mechanical pencil on the snout?
I am yeah =). For those later layers 😁
@@zaratomsart thanks so much! It's so intriguing and makes me want to do an animal in graphite. I'll eventually do this tutorial on your Patreon.
