Free Pencil Drawing Lesson: Boat On A Shore

free lessons graphite Mar 16, 2022

In this pencil drawing lesson, I take you through the steps to re-create this landscape scene of a small boat resting on a shore. 

Materials List

1. Paper: I used Strathmore Bristol Board (Vellum surface, which has more tooth than the Smooth surface). But any drawing or sketching paper will do.

2. Pencils: I used 4 in total - H or HB, 2B, 4B and 8B or 9B. Any brand is fine. 3. Other Bits: Kneadable eraser, craft knife or pencil sharpener, piece of greaseproof paper to protect your surface (printer/copier paper will do).
