how to draw a realistic penguin step 1

STEP 1.

Hers is what I used: Two big graphite pencils, a .5mm mechanical pencil, a kneadable eraser, a tortillion, and a white acrylic marker. The paper itself is very textured, not smooth. The texture of the paper will make this drawing much more realistic.

STEP 2.

Alright, I forgot to list a stick of graphite in the materials section but this is really the only step in which you use it. Lightly rub the graphite longways across the page. The result should look very grainy due to the texture of the paper.

STEP 3.

Using either your tortillion or a paper towel/tissue paper, blend over the entire sheet of paper. The texture should still show through.
