    Start with light strokes of pencil and keep adding detail as you go. If you take your time with it you can add more and more detail. Try looking at a picture of an actual human to give you a reference.

    Look up a picture of a real grenade and see what to change to make it more realistic. For example, on a real grenade, the little green squares are more defined, pop out more, and have space between each of them.
