Some of these are tutorials from Smoothie77&#8217;s Patreon channel, and some are from my own reference photos, like the one directly below. Lighting makes a huge difference in how photos turn out, so some are on the blue side and others on the warm, yellow side, but they&#8217;re all done with the same pencils on the same paper, Canson Fluid multimedia (which I wouldn&#8217;t purchase again for graphite). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\"
