Thank you everyone for the advice! That was exactly my problem. I recently started Final Portrait Drawing (1), and when shading the hood, I just couldn’t achieve that deep black using my 6B and 8B pencils. Then I tried pressing harder with the 8B, but everything started to get shiny, and it didn’t look very good.

I’m having trouble achieving deep black when shading. Every time when I press harder, I end up with a dark gray that starts to shine instead of looking black.I’m using Faber-Castell 4B, 6B, and 8B pencils (8B is the softest pencil in my set). I also have a Pitt Graphite Pure 9B.Does anyone have any tips on how to get deeper, richer blacks…

@alihaiderrehman Thank you for your kind words they’re very motivating. I’ve really gotten into sketching, and I was looking for something to keep me busy while also learning a new skill. I’ve always admired people who could draw, so I finally decided to give it a try.

My first attempts at drawing with pencils and learning how to sketch. My first lessons and my first mistakes, mistakes I can learn from.

While drawing the cherries, I noticed that I was pressing the pencil too hard, which made it difficult to create the final highlights with an eraser pencil 🙁

Even so, I’m starting to feel a bit more confident.…
