Drawing Tutorial: How to Use The Enveloping Method

In this simple figure drawing lesson, I show you how to use the enveloping method to judge proportions more accurately. The lesson uses white charcoal on a dark ground but you can apply this to any drawing medium.

** Materials List **

Pencil: I use a white charcoal pencil by Faber Castell but and brand will do and you can follow the first half of the lesson (enveloping method) with a regular graphite pencil.

Paper: Any dark drawing paper but again you can follow the enveloping technique with a plain piece of sketching paper.

Other: An eraser and a blade/sand paper for sharpening your charcoal pencil.
