Hey Guys! In this video, I continue my epic quest to learn to draw with my left hand by drawing the cutest creature in the entire universe....THE AMELIA -- my niece.

I talk about pencil drawing techniques and the patience it takes to employ them with my left hand. I go over the general construction of the drawing and the issues I had while sketching this portrait.

Materials I used in this video:
HB Pencil --Harder led than B pencils. Great for lighter areas
B Pencil --Softer led than the HB pencil. Great for darker shadows
Kneaded eraser --Very malleable eraser which increases the accuracy of erasing
Strathmore Sketchbook

How / Why I sharpen my pencil the way I do:
I use an Exacto knife to shave it to a point and then use fine sandpaper wrapped around a wood block to further sharpen the point.
The pencil will stay sharper for longer and you can get finer detail.
