‪@BMDPortraits‬ A Filipino/ Pinoy Portrait artist, Taga-Guhit- Mabuhay Artists!!! GRAPHITE + CHARCOAL Portrait Drawing Tutorial ✏️ (Freehand Realism Challenge) This is the project I’ve been avoiding for years — drawing a full realistic portrait completely freehand, and mixing graphite with charcoal in one artwork. Two techniques that most artists stay away from… but I wanted to test them both — no grids, no tracing, just pure observation and courage. In this video, I’ll show you: ✅ How to draw accurate freehand proportions without a grid ✅ How to combine graphite and charcoal without ruining your tones ✅ Step-by-step shading and blending techniques for realistic skin ✅ The secret “brush blending” trick that harmonizes both mediums Watch until the end for the final reveal — and see how graphite and charcoal can actually live together in one realistic portrait. ✏️ Materials Used: Faber-Castell Graphite Pencils (H–8B) Staedtler Black 8B Pencil General’s Soft Charcoal 6B Makeup Brush, Tissue, Kasimir Rubbing Tool Tombow Mono Zero, Kneaded Eraser, Electric Eraser 🎨 Drawn by: BMD Portraits 📍 Philippines If you enjoy this tutorial: Please hit LIKE ❤️, SUBSCRIBE 🔔, and COMMENT below — Would you try Freehand Drawing or Graphite + Charcoal Mixing next?
