Realistic Pencil Drawing of of Man face 

This is a pencil sketch portrait of Shri Shinde who retired / superannuated from the office of the accountant general / Ag office/ cag mumbai which is at pratistha bhawan, marine lines mumbai. He requested me to draw a pencil Portrait for him.  I accepted his request and made this pencil drawing portrait for him from his photo that I had taken with my phone.

Now, How I sketched this man face step by step

I draw free hand sketches. I do not use grid or any other tricks to draw portraits from photos. I started from the nose and then the whole face. The reason for starting from the nose is that it becomes the center of the portraits which help me in measuring the distance of and drawing other facial parts.

 Hb pencil for shading the skin of man's face.

6b pencil for darker areas like hair etc.

Black colour pencil for the darkest areas like drawing the eyes, drawing mustache, the corner of hair etc

Cotton for blending the graphite.

Eraser for giving a shining illusion on head and cheeks.

Feel free to ask your queries regarding pencil sketches. I will be happy to help with whatever knowledge I have.
