   No.1: Consider the pencils you are using: In pencil sketching, the first and very important thing is to consider which pencils you are using.Better the pencils, better the sketch. I would personally recommend the Faber Castell brand because those are the ones I have been using all the time, right from the beginning.
No.2: Different pencils, different darkness: So, sketching pencils are classified into types like 2H,2B,3B,and so on.8B being the darkest. All these pencils contain different amounts of pigment and they are all different. 8B is usually used for shadow areas and hair while 2B,3B are used for smoothness in portraits.

No.3: Start with normal paper: Because that's what I did in the beginning. At first, we all are practicing and when we are practicing, things tend to go wrong. So, investing in high-quality, expensive sketching paper, in the beginning, is a bad idea. 

On Vacation in a nice place by Schmidt Roger | Landscape pencil drawings, Landscape drawings, Beautiful pencil drawingsNo.4: Landscapes/Portraits?: I would highly recommend starting off with landscapes in the beginning as they are much more easier. There are so many easy landscapes available online, you can just choose one for a good start.






No.5: And before you start portraits!!!-Practice eyes, nose, ears, lips individually before you actually start on a portrait. There are so many wonderful tutorials on the internet to teach you how exactly to draw all those facial features which makes everything so much simpler.
No.6: Go on and start!: When I look back at the sketches I made as a kid, I have a good hearty laugh. They are so funny! But then with time, I think I've improved so much in pencil sketching. So, the key is to start rather than just thinking to start! Good Luck!👍

                          DREAMFUL                   CHAPTER 50                  ... Edwin ran down the hallway to where the bouncer, Destiny, and the police lady were standing with the lady's grip still firm on Destiny's hand and as he came closer, Dez noticed he had an ID Card around his neck, quite similar to Destiny's, but one which read- Team Security. "What's up?", he asked the bouncer after stealing a glance at Destiny who was quiet now. "You see this mess, sir? This girl is smoking here, we have proof as well", he said, pointing toward the cigarette on the floor," and then she refuses to-" "Edwin, I did not-", Dez started when he said, "I'll handle this, cool? Let her go.", he said to the lady who was holding Destiny's hand. "But sir-", the bouncer started. "I told you I'll handle this." "And listen?", he added, putting a hand...

  DREAMFUL   CHAPTER:35                 ... 'This is not the time to cry, Dez, come on!', her heart told her as she started knocking on random doors in the hallway. Some doors didn't open at all, some had loud music on, and some simply refused of owning a pair of shoes. It was all futile. Ten minutes for her turn to arrive, no shoes and she was begging for shoes, that's what she was doing. Destiny was about to turn her back, go to her room, pack her bag, get out of there, go home- A door behind her opened revealing an almond-eyed girl. Whether she was truly almond-eyed or was it the makeup...Destiny had no time to decide. Dez took one look at her and glanced at the door name tag- 'CORAL ELLIS'. "Hi, I'm Coral, you look worried?" "Hello Coral! There is hardly any time left for me to go up on stage and I have no sandals.", Dez said hurriedly, looking toward the stage and back at her. She was panting like a dog. Coral gave her a confused lo...

  DREAMFUL   CHAPTER:21         ... It was Saturday, the day Destiny had been waiting all her life...her first-ever professional photoshoot day and she was exuberant about it. She quickly took a shower and got dressed in a white cropped tee shirt and some dark denims, put up a messy bun of her black medium-length hair, and chose a pair of knee-high boots to go along with her look. She decided to not do any makeup as it was no use since the pageant would anyways provide the services. She took her black furry jacket off the hook of her bedroom door...it was a chilly Amsterdam morning and without a jacket, one could freeze, so it was mandatory. "Look who's ready?", she said, closing the bedroom door behind her. Mrs. Decker and Grace looked up at her with their smiles. "You look amazing! All the best, Dez...make us proud!", Grace said, hugging her younger sister. "I'm so thrilled today.", Mrs. Decker said looking at Destiny with a smile. Destiny got ou...
