Drawing a Realistic Dog Nose in Graphite: A Step-by-Step Guide with Essential Erasers

In this graphite tutorial I'll show how to create the 3D shape when drawing a realistic dog nose. This dog nose tutorial will show every layer. From the base layer with graphite powder to the final details using the subtraction technique with 2 of my must have graphite supplies. The two erasers combined with how I like to adapt each one before using them will guarantee more details and fines lines.
