In this video from Castle Arts we show you how to draw, shade and blend a medieval minstrel using our 40 Piece Premium Quality Drawing Set. For this illustration we use all four pastel pencils, sepia, red brown, gray and black and paper blender all contained in the 40 Piece Set.You can also download an A4 PDF tutorial which guides you through the techniques used to draw, shade and blend the illustration. The PDF also includes a pencil sketch outline of the minstrel so you can print out and practice as many times as you like.Once you've completed your illustration, upload to Instagram using the hashtag #castlearts, we would love to see and share your artwork. Enjoy!
