When I sharpen my 2mm lead I put the graphite shavings in a tiny container. Works great for quick gestures where you want to capture the lighting as well as the gesture. Love all you people that use ash and graphite to do amazing things 😊

"Russian sauce" bro are you ok 💀

[@stringbeanii]

the snorting one made me give a like. i appreciate people who don't take themselves too seriously 😜

[@Pizza-jm9df]

I felt that

[@leolion3323]

Comparing these mediums/strategies with what i was told to do in art class with brittle charcoal sticks that had very unpredictable hardness etc makes me feel a bit better about always thinking I'm missing something major when it comes to coal, it was bewildering to me that people actually enjoyed working with that sensory nightmare. People still might.. but all this makes it a bit better at least

[@Theshellyreal06]

The charcoal powder looks the best😏

i def need all of these, i just finished sketching and shading an drawing the size of an 11 by 8.5 inch paper with a mechanical pencil 😬, it still looks alr, but it took FOREVER

[@cosmicnerd1412]

Coming from a country in which recreational art is basically nonexistent, we have only charcoal pencils, and I had no idea there are so many types of charcoal.

[@ProkoTV]

All these types aren't the most common here in the US either. Some you'll only find in specialty stores or even online ordering.

Ngl willow has to be such a good charcoal and the most painful lest, like you can manipulate it but it gets super messy and sometimes you find random spots on your art price with willow that’s far away from the part of the price you used willow on 💀

[@rapunzelpascal4200]

@@ProkoTV I'm really sorry but English it's not my first language and Google isn't helping me at all, so I don't really understand what you're saying... Can you repeat it in a simplest way please?

[@ProkoTV]

@@rapunzelpascal4200 Sorry, that was a joke about the fact that charcoal is really easy to wipe away. For some people like Patrick Jones is a recent video of ours, that's a strength of charcoal. For others, it's a hindrance. If you finish a piece that you like as it is, it can be worth spraying it with "fixative" to lock it in as it is.

[@MayaMickaMicak]

Every time I draw with charcoal it somehow gets into my nose so the inside of my nose is always black for the whole day after drawing with it, it gets really annoying. I guess it's because I breathe in dust particles from charcoal while I draw with it. And no, I don't snort it lol, but I can't imagine for how long his snot was black after doing this video.

[@nomobties]

@@vancoverdeduction9032 i know. The thing is I am 59 now. Since I have been watching prokotv videos on art (along with other’s videos) I have been wanting to go back and do what enjoyed when I was young. Honestly I wanted to work for DC and Marvel. Such were the silly fantasies of a child, right? (I won’t get to reasons why I stoped. Not relevant). Have you seen the 1st team up between Spider-Man and Superman released in 1976? I drew that at home. I saw and I drew. No tracing whatsoever. It was just the characters and the top portion of the Empire State Building. It was my favorite work. I did allot of freehand from imagination as well mind you. Now, at my age, when I make the attempt to draw anything it sucks. I sound like a whiner I’m sure.
