When it comes to how to draw realistically, the simple answer is…it requires time and practice. That’s not the answer most people want to hear. They want the secret on how to draw realistically now. The truth is, there is no magic pencil that can help you do that. And in fact, for many years, I did so with your average Ticonderoga #2. Yep. The same yellow pencil you used in elementary school. Heck, I’ve been at this for the better part of 50 years! Seriously. There’s no way around the practice. If you’re not willing to do it, it’s just not going to happen.
