How to draw reflections in water using graphite pencils

A simple demo on how I draw reflections in water using graphite, I used Derwent graphic pencils, Tombo mono 2.3 eraser, and cheap A4 printer paper LOL, oh well its only a demo.

I’ve drawn a little landscape to reflect “it’s nothing special” r you crazy? It’s absolutely stunning. I would love to be able to draw like that.

Wow, thanks for taking the time to show us how you do these beautiful drawings. I have always wanted to learn. Now my guilty obsession, the Dave, Alan, and Smoothie demos. You are all so generous with your time and talent.

This was a wonderful demo, Smoothie, and a pleasure to see how you produce these incredible works of art. I simply love the varied tones graphite can create. I hope to see more of your demos. Cheers from Canada!

This is good to know! How amazing the difference is. It must be the additive they add to the graphite to make it water-soluble. This is a beautiful drawing thank you! My first love has always been drawing. Of course I used my fingers to shade with. My older sister used to draw a lot when I was a kids I always tried to draw like her. She drew beautiful women. My favorite was her drawings of a popular Sunday cartoon, Brenda Starr. Of course your way to young to know who that is. She was a glamorous drawn woman, kind of like Rita Hayworth.
I love this drawing, I'm really happy I came across your

Great demo smoothie, i agree that line separating the edge from the reflection does make it more believable, hope to see more .

This video helped so much! I was doing a drawing and needed help on how to do the reflection, and when he talked about the white line I between the bridge and reflection, the drawing came out amazing! Thanks so much!

Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy following your techniques and I've pretty much copied a number of your drawings. Please continue the lessons, as a newly to drawing (not quite at bus pass age, but close) I have gained more confidence in my drawings. Thank you again

🤔🤫🤭 You cover the better part of learning to draw ... "Discover all" So modestly shown ... !! Like everywhere ... Note that you are showing the less important aspects of drawing secrets. One must admit, you draw nicely.

Shading has always been a problem with me I always forget where to draw my shadings because I can't really imagine a full on picture
