LAYER and BURNISH with graphite pencil

Mike explains, in easy to understand ways, how patchy shading is harming your drawings. And how Layering graphite, and Burnishing with harder grades, can fix that problem.

Layering is compared to blending (the latter lightens, layering doesn't). And two exercises help you explore the way layering can greatly increase the solidity and intensity of your dark values, and smooth lighter values.
