What is needed for good portrait sketching
When people watch my portrait sketching videos, some may wonder what art materials I use. Such questions are not really relevant to the topic of such videos because the quality of sketches depends not on art materials, but art skills. I can draw a portrait with a spoon and coffee on a napkin, or on a dusty window with my finger, but such a sketch would look more professional than an artwork by a beginner with the best art materials one would get. There is only one thing that results in great sketches - strong drawing skills. If you want to learn how to draw realistic portraits, you need to work on your skills, not to search for some "magic" pencils or sketchbooks that would make your art beautiful.
