From Merrill Kazanjian:

"This video will teach you how to draw a baseball player…I demonstrate how to break images down in to smaller shapes and how to draw from observation. I demonstrate how to make construction lines to draw realistically and place the "shapes" together correctly. The baseball player is in a batting stance (swinging a bat and hitting a baseball). I use a set of pencils (HB, 2B, 4B, 6B Graphite Stick) to do the drawing and shading and a tortillion (blending stump) and a paintbrush to help build tones and blend realistic textures"
