8:066 Steps To Draw ANY Graphite Portrait
Save referenceDesired Outcome
The curly grey beard and deep smile lines are some of the hardest parts of a portrait, and here they look real. '6 Steps' promises a method you could follow for every face. That makes the skill look learnable rather than a gift.
'ANY' in capitals promises the method isn't tied to one reference photo, which is what learners stuck copying one tutorial face really want.
The hand shading beside the eye and the pencils on marble show work in progress, and the face fills most of the frame so its texture reads even when small.
If your method claims to work on anything, show it handling the hardest case, like hair, texture or wrinkles, done well. Let the title give the number of steps so the skill feels learnable.
Show the hardest case done well, then promise the steps.

Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
