Answer:
The first thing to consider is drawing proportions.
when drawing anything you have to get the proportion right, to archive that, you can aid your drawing with the use of grid line for drawing accurate proportion or draw with freehand if you have the ability.
Use the right tools for your drawing
I didn't realize the importance of this until I experimented with different tools myself. For example, I use different types of erasers to get the right textures and tones. Many other accessories like blending tools, type of pencil, etc. and how skillfully you put it to use, will decide the outcome.
Give maximum attention to detail
I think this is one major factor that conventional drawing artists ignore. Every fine detail which you try to translate onto paper by using the tools at your disposal, will impart reality to your drawing and transform them into life-like sketches and try to see what other are not seeing, by taking a closer look at the subject image you are drawing
what kind of paper you use
For realistic art, you must use thick paper because sometimes we might need watercolors or markers in our drawing it might spoil the thin paper
a lot of patience
Drawing realistic art demands a lot of patience and practice to gain mastery.
what to draw
you have to know what to draw first take a small object to draw then with practice you will make a big one with realistic effect.
If you choose a big object you may lose interest in drawing because it not easy to draw a perfect picture
Here is one of my example of a step by step drawing.
