Your portrait renderings have an almost magical way of emerging from the drawing surface with seemingly little effort....Beautiful!

[@armadaliuart]

Thank you so much, the key is patience and actually it took me like 8-10 hours to complete.

I have used vine charcoal with 2b mechanical pencil with some success. I'm thinking about using "workable fixative " on the charcoal blocking-in stages. Ever tried it ? Thanks and best regards.

[@armadaliuart]

Yeah, I want to try it but at the moment I don't have workable fixative, I only have W&N fixative but I believe that's for final fixative. What brand are you using?

Absolutely fantastic!! I noticed that you used an eraser pencil, did you use something to sharper it? I also have that pencil but I'm struggling to get a clean line

[@armadaliuart]

Hi, yes, I use Tombow mono zero. I don't sharpen the eraser. I just use it as is and it will naturally form some edges. Then after erasing, I clean up the white lines and make it thinner with my sharp pencil.

[@Larva_Art]

Q- Can we mix graphite and charcoal in drawing? Q- Do those willow charcoal stick to paper like graphite? Q- What pencil is that you use to super darken the hair?

[@armadaliuart]

1. Of course we can mix them together. Use charcoal first then graphite, charcoal is difficult to apply on top of graphite though. 2. Not really, that's why they're very easy to erase and best for the initial drawing stage. But don't worry upon finishing the drawing just spray with fixative and they won't smudge anymore. 3. 8B Staedler pencil

[@jafarkadory8288]

Thank you for this wonderful video and for your efforts. I have a question. I have been drawing for a long time, but the correct measurements are still a horror for me. If I want to get the correct measurements, I go to the method of the squares that I want to get rid of, and draw in free form, and draw correct free outline without squares and with the correct measurements. I ask you for your help. With this request for the easiest way to draw correct measurements for a portrait, thank you

[@armadaliuart]

Hi, thank you so much gor the question, actually I'm going to talk about drawing with reference photo and how to get it right in my next video (which might take me about 1-2 weeks). So if check again later for the video. But if you need answer now, then in my opinion there's nothing wrong with gridding / tracing. But if you want to learn how to draw free hand, you will need ”efforts” and that definitely won't be as easy as gridding / tracing. But there are some tricks to measure more accurately, like pencil & thumb and finding alignments between two things, which I will cover in my next video. 😀😀

[@jafarkadory8288]

@@armadaliuart Thank you for the answer, and I will be eagerly waiting for the next video. As for the square method, it is very tiring and I want to get rid of anything in order to draw freely. Thank you

Excellent instructive video. Was the 8B pencil charcoal or graphite? If graphite how did you avoid the dark areas being shiny?

[@armadaliuart]

Graphite. 1) I use Staedler Mars Black, they're the least shinny compared to other brands. 2) To use rougher paper. 3) To use many layers when shading the dark areas. Hope it helps! 🥂
