One of my most asked questions is how I get the backgrounds of my drawings so dark. In this video I run through the different ways of getting the most out of your graphite and some tips I’ve learnt for getting really dark values in pencil. Let me know if you’ve got tips or tricks of your own! I’m always looking for new ways of doing things and it’s great to hear back from artists in the community.
