In this tutorial, I use a cheap dollar store pencil (worth only $0.10 as it came in a pack of 20), a regular facial tissue, and a normal sheet of printer paper. The pencil was scratchy and difficult 😐 to blend smoothly - Definitely not the best drawing tool, but it also wasn't the end of the world. Follow along with me as we work through these obstacles together to create a beautiful drawing of full plump lips!
