<p align="center"><img height="300" alt="" width="400" border="1" src="http://www.adamvalentine.com/images/marilyn%20screen%20grab.jpg" /></p>
<p><font size="2">Many people think that they can&#8217;t draw. Even people that can draw often times have difficulty with portraits. The reason portraits can be so challenging is because if you&#8217;re not spot on with your drawing it just won&#8217;t look right. Well, for all of the people who think that there&#8217;s no way they&#8217;ll be able to draw a portrait I respectfully disagree. All you need is the right technique and some practice of course.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">When I was a kid I loved to draw and I spent a whole lot of time doing it. I was also hungry to learn ways to improve my drawings so I bought just about every book on the subject. After many years of studying and endless trial and error I learned and developed techniques that result in a quality piece of art. This DVD will show you the techniques that took me decades to figure out on my own and shave years of off the learning curve for you.</font></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font size="3">In&nbsp;Your New&nbsp;DVD you will learn:</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2">* The materials and tools you&#8217;ll need</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2">* Getting started with a blank page in front of you</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2">* How to achieve a near perfect likeness&#8230; Every Time!</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2">* Keeping everything in proportion</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2">* Proper shading</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2">* Using tone and value to define shapes and features</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2">* Achieving a photo-realistic look</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2">* And much more&#8230;</font></p>
<p><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p><font size="2">&quot;You Can Draw Portraits&quot; is 1 hour and 57 minutes packed with tips, techniques, and commentary throughout that will have you turning out phot realistic portraits in record time. With the secrets and techniques revealed in your video and a little practice you&#8217;ll be drawing beautiful pictures sooner than you think.</font></p>

Bristol Board
When it comes to drawing paper I need something that&#8217;s tough and can hold up to the abuse that it&#8217;s going to take.
When I draw a picture I do lot&#8217;s of shading, blending, and erasing that a thin, flimsy paper just can&#8217;t handle.

<p>When it comes to drawing paper I need something that&#8217;s tough and can hold up to the abuse that it&#8217;s going to take.</p>
<p>When I draw a picture I do lot&#8217;s of shading, blending, and erasing that a thin, flimsy paper just can&#8217;t handle.</p>
<p>Bristol board is a thick, heavy weight paper that&#8217;s almost like a card stock. It can take the abuse that I put it through.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re just learning to draw then by all means practice on something cheap but when you&#8217;re ready to start creating finished works of art, something you may even wish to frame, you&#8217;ll want to use a quality, durable paper.</p>

<p>When it comes to a particular brand of Bristol Board I don&#8217;t really have one brand that I prefer over another so I&#8217;ll go with the one that has the best price. What you do want to look for though is to make sure the paper is acid free. Acid free paper will not age and turn yellow the way non-acid free paper will.</p>
<p>The other thing you&#8217;ll need to decide is what type of finish you want. You can get a &quot;plate&quot; or smooth finish or you could get a &quot;vellum&quot; which has a bit of a tooth or texture to it. I prefer a smooth finish because I like to&nbsp;create the texture of my drawing and not have the paper dictate the texture to me. Some people really like the tooth of a vellum finish so it&#8217;s really just a matter of trying them for yourself and seeing what you like best.</p>

<p><strong><font size="3">My Top Pencil Choice</font></strong></p>
<p>My pencil of choice is Derwent. I&#8217;ve tried many different pencil options over the years and Derwent is my favorite, hands down.&nbsp;They are&nbsp;very high quality pencils at a reasonable price. </p>
<p>I always get a consistent product as well. With some pencils you may get a darker or lighter tone than you&#8217;re expecting but with Derwent I always know&nbsp;what to expect. I get good smooth tones and consistent quality.</p>
<p>Derwent pencils range from 9H (the hardest) to 9B (the softest). I like to get the&nbsp;soft set that ranges from H to 9B. I rarely use a pencil harder than 2H so I would either get the soft set or the medium set.</p>
<p>Pencils can be purchased individually as well which is good because you will use some more than others. If you need a set of pencils you can click on the picture or the link below. You can&#8217;t go wrong with Derwent.</p>
