Tutorials on how to draw using graphite and coloured pencils

TUTORIALS

Almost every day, I receive an email from someone around the world seeking advice, in particular on how to draw using drafting film, but in general on how I work with pencils, both coloured and graphite. In response to this interest, I decided to put together a series of step by step tutorials, which I hope might be of some assistance and answer some of the numerous questions I get asked. If you have an idea for a tutorial and feel it might be of interest to others, please don't hesitate to contact me at hullfamily1@bigpond.com and I will endeavour to meet your needs.

Whilst I check emails regularly throughout the day, due to time differences, it may take up to 24 hours before your Tutorial is sent to you via email. To ensure your tutorial is of the highest quality, it is recommended that you print it out on photo paper, as this will allow you to pick up the finer details in the images. If you would like your tutorial emailed to an address other than the one shown in PayPal, please contact me to let me know which email address you would like it sent to.
