Charcoal Portrait Sketch - 'Emma'

[@nynycs]

These are easily some of the best portrait demos in charcoal streamed free on the internet; they are among the limited examples of fine art on youtube.

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thank you for your comment, very much appreciated. Glad that you find them useful!

[@omarmega4093]

My favourite part is when you add light to the lower lip with just one touch of your earser. It gives the portrait so much life with such a little movement

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thank you Omar, glad you like it!

[@andrewyarbro8150]

Mine looked like a guy so i added a beard and it looked like jesus so instead of emma it ie Emmanuel

[@JeffHainesArt]

Lol! Thanks for watching Andrew :D

[@machigiceb7788]

Hahahahahaha

[@cnash5647]

Probably because of the transition between edges and proportions made your subject look masculine

[@ruthteresapratiwisinaga4899]

lol

[@mrart4276]

Haaaaaaaaa🤣🤣

[@jberto8878]

The best demonstration of how is light what creates forms, shapes and volume. A great video, very inspirational.

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks so much! Glad that you found it useful.

[@benjaminpaxton9994]

I love how you build up the portrait. You've quickly become one of my main inspirations for taking up charcoal. Keep the videos coming. Cheers.

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks so much, Benjamin!

[@And3aPet]

These are very nice demos. I save them to show to students occasionally. Very instructive and lovely work! Thank you.

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks so much! I'm glad that you find them helpful

[@MMW1531]

It’s a nice experience to watch your skillful sketching accompanied with such a great music 👍

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks so much, and thanks for watching!

[@countryfolkheart]

Beautiful! you're a master..so wonderful

[@Chiewere]

Excellent charcoal technic with gorgeous tones.

[@czypauly07]

That is bloody impressive, my jaw was on the floor for the whole video

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks! Glad that you liked it.

[@Loohoo30H3]

That vine charcoal would have crumbled in my hand within 10 minutes, so MAJOR respect

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks Lynz! It crumbles on me sometimes too. :)

[@lepetitpotagerdenicolas]

Bonjour Jeff, Vous êtes un grand portraitiste, j'aime votre technique. Bravo.

Ficou Excelente o seu Trabalho! A ARTE TEM UMA MAGIA BOA, QUE A GENTE SENTE EM CADA OBRA FEITA.

[@easypainter]

So beautiful ❤

[@sclla2549]

Absolutely beautiful work, its was so nice seeing that you know how to use charcoal. I never knew how to use it properly, I learned a lot from this!

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thank you Priscilla. It’s debatable if this is the ‘proper’ way to use charcoal, but I’m glad you got something from watching it! :)

[@ccaalluuss]

it's impossible not to like it! It is mesmerizing and healthy process just watching at it..bravissimo

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoy the process

[@sebastianyepes8154]

Your videos had been helping me to improve my skills, thanks for sharing this!!

[@JeffHainesArt]

Happy that you're getting something from them Sebastian!

[@rootytuners]

Thanks for sharing! I’m watching at 25% playback speed. It seems a great way to enjoy the full process - closer to ‘real time’.

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thank you! These generally run at around 4X speed, so 25% is about perfect for real time.

[@mattnorris8335]

The music at .25 speed is horrifying... lol

[@silvermaran2813]

Super art, awesome artwork great job 😮👌👍👍

[@Quantum_Arts_Notes]

棒極了。手指輕執炭筆的尾端，卻仍能穩定地畫出細膩且精準的線條，不可思議啊。

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks so much!

[@CharcoalPencilPusher]

Sooo nice! Great work. Thanks

[@maadenramos2068]

cool, but can we see the reference at the same time? would be cool to see how you translate and break things down

[@JeffHainesArt]

I will try to do that more in future videos. Thanks for watching.

[@chefchefize]

Jeff. Well talented you. Well shot video of what I would gladly watch in real time.

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thank you Gregor, glad that you liked it!

[@leylaramazanova7923]

loved it, first time tried charcoal sketching, not 100% successful though, need more practise. but I enjoyed it, will try several times again!thanks!

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thank you Leyla, Best of luck!

[@pharanaiarts1068]

Her eyes reflect the sadness. Amazing drawing!

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thank you!

[@everettwhite9874]

Man, I just watched three of your drawings and they were really motivating. I was thinking of starting a sketch, now I'm sure I go and grab a couple of vines and get started. Thanks. I like too that these are short videos. 👍🏽

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thank you Everett! Best of luck with your drawings.

[@javedsaeedbaloch]

[@lylepascoe7243]

I am so pleased that you finally started a channel. I am a huge fan of your work and have admired it from afar (South Africa) for many years. I have always wondered what your process looked like as you have really gentle touch with the medium. Thank you again, I have learnt so much from studying your process.

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks so much Lyle, happy to see you here!

[@dhanrajkale84]

super work

[@CesarMontejoVargas]

I like this master piece. Thank you for sharing! I have not tested my creativity using other elements then a pencil, a sharpener, a rubber and a sheet. I love arts and creativity! It is great! Thanks!

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks! Happy that you like it!

[@markbowman5515]

I love the subtractive technique you use

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks Mark

[@salseritosoy]

Wow! Bellísimo trabajo.

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thank you!

[@soumikdutta9622]

Beautiful, magical

[@THEENDLESSHOBBY]

VERY NICE AND CREATIVE KIND OF DRAWING ,,I WILL ALSO TRY THIS LOVE UR WORK....

[@braydinsisco7856]

That is super cool. I’ve never used the technique of using a smaller brush to blend my charcoal, nor have I started my portraits by using the vine charcoal as a pose to a regular sketch pencil. I think I’ll try that, it seems to work fairly well for you. Very interesting, love the portrait!

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thank you Braydin, good luck with your work!

[@ffffffelipe]

I'm returning to draw with charcoal and your style and videos are truly inspiring! Love the results you get. Thanks for sharing your art with us :¬)

[@swagatapaul5351]

Your rough work looks 100 times better than my final work

[@kapresovsk]

eraser is the best artist's friend ;) great job anyway

[@pica2s0]

Hi Jeff. We are FB or IG (or both) friends and have exchanged comments over the years. I stumbled across this without knowing who was drawing, and loved it. I was pleased to see it was you, as I like your drawings. I have been thinking more and more that charcoal is exactly what I need to start doing (and in this way - with vine and with brushes, etc). I draw mostly with compressed charcoal (because I am certain that I am too sloppy to store vine charcoal work without losing it), but I am looking for softer tones and softer edges. So, watching your video is the final "convincer" for me. I will check out some more, too. Paul Mordetsky

[@JeffHainesArt]

Hi Paul! Vine charcoal takes a bit of getting used to to. I used to dislike it myself, but I love it now. Also, I’m pretty sloppy too, and I don’t store finished drawings very carefully, but once you spray them with a fixative, they’re stable. I love your work too & good luck with your experimentations!

[@hendaaoun5282]

[@markrandle9025]

Random Question: Could you please make a tutorial series combining art and language (to learn two subjects at once) such as... the right side of the face labels could be English eyes, nose, lips, etc and the left side of the face could be French yeux, nez, lèvres

[@blakedahlmeyer]

New to this. What was the utensil they used to blur it at 1:45?

[@JeffHainesArt]

Hi Blake, I sometimes use a soft bristle round brush. I think it's an acrylic brush, pretty soft bristles, maybe a #6? It's old and the information is worn off the handle. Thanks for watching!

[@theartofcaizhijian4185]

I like your painting.

[@JeffHainesArt]
