The materials used for this drawing are same as in the example of drawing a face. This was done entirely with graphite pencils HB, 2B, 6B and was left unfinished, so that we can focus on the full process to learn all about it

- Use exclusively HB pencil at the beginning to draw construction lines, contours and shapes. Pay attention here only to accuracy and not yet to the tone or edges
- Start giving some background texture with HB pencil, smudge to get only some background value
 |

- Once the shapes have been drawn use a soft fabric to smudge, you will see how the contrast is reduced, some more tone added to the background and the contour and lines merge with the background
- Use the kneaded eraser to make the with areas and preserve without tone
- Squint your eyes to observe the value of both the subject and your drawing

- After smudging, always use the kneaded eraser again to show the lighter areas, and after that use the 2B or 6B to show again the darker lines and contour
 |

- See how the 6B is used in small quantities in some specific areas, the rest is mostly 2B and HB

- The next step is to focus on the edges, go back to this section again if you need
- A drawing can be considered finished or not depending on your goal or style, to can make a hiper-realistic drawing or use another more personal approach, here are the basics you can use and hope you can incorporate into your style
- You can finish your drawings with texture adding interesting effects with splattering of watercolor or other, review the section about texture
