How to Draw | Using Graphite Pencils to Hatch, Stipple & Blend

Categories: Graphite

Tutorial Length: 7m 46s

In this video from Castle Arts we show you how to achieve various pencil shading methods using graphite pencils from our 40 Piece Premium Quality Drawing Set. For these blending examples we use 2B, 4B, 5B and 8B pencils, both blenders and kneadable eraser, all contained in the 40 Piece Set.You can also download an A4 PDF tutorial which guides you through the techniques used. The PDF also includes a pencil outline of the shields used in the video so you can print out and practice as many times as you like.Once you've completed your shading and blending, upload to Instagram using the hashtag #castlearts, we would love to see and share your artwork. Enjoy!
