There are about a billion ways to draw with a pencil.
Which is great… right up until you sit down, stare at the blank canvas, and realize you have absolutely no idea what you’re supposed to do first.
In this tutorial, we’re breaking down two easy digital pencil workflows using Studio Pencils — one built around clean contours, strong structure, and directional hatching, and another focused on broad graphite, soft shading, and that loose charcoal-y sketchbook look.
Same pencils. Completely different results.
WHAT WE’LL COVER:
* Simple Construction: Start with basic forms and get your proportions right before worrying about details.
* Hard Pencil Workflow: Clean contours, strong planes, and directional hatching for a crisp, graphic look.
* Soft Pencil Workflow: Broad graphite, loose shading, and subtle blending for a softer, charcoal-y finish.
* Hatching & Shading: Use direction, pressure, and density to build form and contrast.
* Specialty Brushes: How Hatchers, Shaders, Blenders, Fillers, and Erasers can speed things up without overcomplicating your drawing.
Whether you like things clean, messy, or somewhere in between, these two workflows give you an easy place to start.
No galaxy-brain process required.
