How to Draw a Rhino (Rhinoceros) in Graphite Pencils | Realistic Drawing Tutorial | Part 1

Join me for part 1 of this 'draw with me' series, where I teach you how to draw a Rhino in real-time.
Learning to draw in graphite is a perfect option for beginners who want to work their way up to drawing in coloured pencils.
I started out drawing in graphite myself many years ago, building up my confidence until I felt ready to delve into full colour.
Tutorial size: I’m using a 9x12” piece of Strathmore Bristol Vellum but this will fit onto A4.

Another great TH-cam video Shannon! Loved the process of the rhino progression! Although I don’t know about graphite I always learn something watching your videos! You have a great way of explaining and it’s always a pleasure sitting in!
You’re a great teacher!
Have a great weekend!

I agree Shannon i like to work on a small section at a time and bring it to a finished area, it motivates me to keep going. I get totally lost when artists go over all the drawing. This will be a great lesson in tonal values. 🥰 just wondering if your tabby cat that you have on here is also on Patreon.

[@shannonmullin]

It’s not on Patreon unfortunately sorry Di 🥰
