How to Draw a Gorilla - Narrated (Testing Staedtler Charcoal Pencils)

Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw a gorilla!
In this drawing I will test these pencils, that I just bought
they are carbon pencils, made out of compress powder
which is a mixture of carbon and graphite.
They are much darker than graphite, but they don´t
smear like charcoal does.
Ok!
Let´s begin by marking the line of the back, and then
of the head.
The top of the head.
Like so.
Almost at a right angle.
The top of the head is fairly flat, and here is the brown bone,
which it is very pronounced in these animals.
Then we have the nose that comes down here
and then the lips.
The lower jaw sticks out more than the upper one.
Let´s draw an arm, this will be the forearm, and he will
be resting the head, or the jaw on his wrist.
To hold the pencil for this drawing, I have mainly been
using the backhand grip and the brush grip.
And I am trying to do the strokes all the way from my shoulder.
Especially for the long lines of course.
And for the sketch I chose to use the 2B pencil,
which is the hardest of the once in the box.
I lowered the line of the back as you saw, because it was way too long
otherwise.
And now let´s start shading and for the shading I switch
to a softer lead which is a 4B.
Before I used any of these pencils of course, I sharpened
them properly for drawing
which is with a blade and making the lead much longer.
Much longer than what it comes from a regular hand or automatic
sharper.
If you want me to show you how to sharpen a pencil for drawing,
please let me know in the comments and I´ll make a tutorial on that,
or maybe everybody know that all ready so, it is not needed.
Let´s work on the shoulder, the arm and the hand, a little bit
although I don´t want to put a lot of work on this, because I want them
to be just sketchy, so that the attention of the viewer goes to the face and
the head of the gorilla.
For the really blacks, I´m using an 8B which is the softer of all.
When you use graphite pencils and you try to get a really black
and so you press on them, the black is not really black, but additionally
when you apply pressure on it,
it becomes shiny causing unwanted reflections.
So an alternative for the blacks is to use this type of pencil,
or charcoal, and you can combine them of course,
with graphite.
As you see, I like them very much and I am afraid this is sounding
like an add for the pencils [laughter]
it is not, nobody paid me or told me to do this, I´m just enjoying them
very very much!
They feel better than what I thought they would be.
Gorillas are considered highly intelligent, a few individuals
in captivity have been taught a sign language.
Gorillas can laugh, grieve, have rich emotional lives,
develop strong family bonds... make and use tools
and think about the past and the future.
Unfortunately, they are critically in danger, due to the habitat
destruction and hunting.
We should take care of them because they are definitely, fantastic creatures!
They are so full of personality!
We give it the last touches and it´s ready!
If you enjoyed it, please give it a LIKE! share it to your friends

I want to wish you a fantastic New Year! and I will see you,
on Tuesday ;)
