Pencil Drawing Ideas From The Realistic Pencil Portrait Mastery
The Realistic Pencil Portrait Mastery is the creation of artist Christopher Sia and is based around helping people draw masterful portraits with ease. It is a relatively new product to the art world but it has been gathering pace the last few months and is very popular.

The course will teach you the secrets of realistic pencil portrait drawing along with an impressive amount of pencil drawing ideas. The author covers three main secrets with you to improve your pencil drawing techniques:
- How to master the depiction of the human face
- How to spot the tiny, often overlooked details of facial features
- How to see what other artists cannot see
Here's What You Will Get With The Course....
As well as the unique pencil drawing ideas Christopher Sia offers you:
- A set of five e-books packed with effective information and detailed illustrations
- A set of five lesson process maps
- A set of 100 high resolution photos
- 12 weeks of step-by-step drawing exercises and pencil drawing ideas
- A lifetime supply of free upgrades to the course
I found the five lessons very revealing and the pencil drawing ideas they offered very interesting at times. It's worth noting that I had very little experience with implementing pencil drawing ideas before I reviewed this course but I found the step-by-step format very easy to follow.
What Do The Lessons Cover?
The first lesson is based around how to draw a realistic eye and how to avoid the common mistakes - iris, eyelids and eyeball.
The second lesson gives you pencil drawing ideas on how to sketch a realistic nose. It points out where you should start the nose and an easy way of recognizing the direction of the light source.
The third lesson covers pencil drawing ideas to be used with the mouth area ( teeth included ). It went into close detail on how to shade the lips to make the whole mouth look more realistic and appear in 3D.
Lesson four I found quite difficult as it covered drawing the human ear - something I had literally no experience in. It shows you how to start by drawing the outline of the ear so that the inner shadings will become a lot easier. I found this method to be very effective for my level.
The final lesson gives you pencil drawing ideas to create hair. The course covers two main stroke methods that create realistic looking hair in a short space of time.
What I liked About This Course
- There was a lot of information included in this package and it covered all aspects of pencil drawing portraits
- The lessons were not set or strict lessons - they allowed me to work through at my own pace
- Not only will this course improve your portrait skills it will also improve your drawing in general
- There is a great support network set up by Christopher providing good customer support
- There is a 60 day full money back guarantee
What I Disliked About This Course
- A lot of the pencil drawing ideas were based around the facial portraits of celebrities which became a little tiring after a while. Maybe it's just me but I have very little interest in Hollywood stars but they are very familiar so I can see the thinking behind it!
- I didn't think the course addressed the subject of putting the features together that well. Again maybe it was me but combining the pencil drawing ideas ( eyes, ears, nose etc ) seemed quite hard
- I have heard many complaints around the fact that this course only concentrated on graphite drawings but let's be honest - the course name is The Realistic 'PENCIL' Portrait Mastery.
So What's The Next Step?
Well that's down to you really! The product is priced at a mere $47 ( which is about £28 for all you Brits out there! ) and the money back guarantee is the key here.
If you are looking for new step-by-step portrait pencil drawing ideas then this surely is worth a shot ( for free! ). If you fancy finding out more we have included links to Christopher Sia's official site all over this article so feel free to pay him a visit.
