[@AshishPanwar13i]

I really love the charcoal sketch over graphite . In graphite you already begins from shape and outlines then you go for shades. But in charcoal, its like an art taking birth just like statue makers.....and at the end wow.,..,🔥❤️

[@zinlimart]

Yes, I love the way like sculpting.

[@creator_ashishh]

"Glad to find the same name of a artist as mine"

[@gsarquitectura5305]

I admire this artis technique, how she rescues the light out of the black shadow

[@JhoangelF]

hello. i know you uploaded this video 4 years ago, but i wanted to let you know that this is truly an inspiration, and personally, it influences me to don't lose my love for drawing. you have an incredible technique, and incredible patience, which all artists should have. really good video, very relaxing too. have a great day and be safe !!

[@amarissimus29]

This is why blocking is important, kids. Big shapes first. Get the light source right and the rest will follow. Sometimes a single stroke can define a feature by itself. Charcoal is the best.

[@bobyounger6109]

I love the way this is done. Never tried charcoal,

[@setiat9898]

I love when you use your finger as a soft eraser.. I enjoy the process as well

[@leandrogalang1388]

What kind of charcoal do you use sir?

[@ilyakuzmenko6723]

She is beautiful!

[@cryptoslimer8589]

dated her in high school...she was a real freak!

[@joelcervantes3013]

Simply beautiful, just to see the face emerge from the shadows and forms. Thank you Zin!

[@karenotter3109]

Very good

[@karenotter3109]

Left eye not same as right

[@jaclacscatpack]

I have a unique reference photo of my friends I want to draw but the quality of the photo is so blurry u can only make out the value not too much detail think I’ll have to try something like this. Almost similar to oil painting🤔

[@jerrychan1471]

Sensitively beautiful, the face comes to life so magically.

[@leftvan]

I love your approach and the thought behind every stroke. Excellent

[@kylorhys7966]

sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!

[@zanniesamuel4537]

I'm so glad she/he isn't talking, just drawing... Talking youtubers can be annoying and distracting

[@daisies667]

Zannie Samuel they aren't, if you don't like it then don't watch them lol

[@zanniesamuel4537]

@@daisies667 I'm entitled to my opinion. Are you bored? Or you just feel like commenting on someone else's opinion that doesn't concern you in any way. "Lol"

[@danielhateley8290]

That was so good to watch

[@catyrodriguez3590]

Que dominio del carboncillo,una maravilla.

[@bobyounger6109]

One thing I can remember some years ago, wanted to try the old streets of London in charcoal.never got around To it.

[@joewolf3824]

Almost as if I was watching a sculpting.

[@Streakercat]

When the drawing first got started I could not figure how a portrait could be made out of that mess. What a wonderful finish!

[@daisies667]

Momma Bear i find it funnier to start like that than with a perfect sketch

[@JoseHernandez-yi5ss]

No sé cómo terminé viendo esto pero me hipnotizó

[@bigconda242]

My whole new idea of sketching with charcoal... Same technique I am gonna use it...

[@babutalik8774]

Zin, this is cool. I have been contemplating using charcoal to draw portraits but haven't found the time nor the guts. But am impressed with the potential of charcoal as a medium for drawing lovely and eye catching portraits. This looks like a very patient approach but it is worth trying. Thanks again for sharing your gift, am inspired.

[@zinlimart]

Thanks. What I like about charcoal is that there are many similarity in application of oil painting.

[@babutalik8774]

Thanks for the reply Zin. I have not tried oil paint but will do someday. Here in my country, we don't seem to have compressed charcoal sold in art stores. however, we do have charcoal pencils especially from china. Will try the medium and explore its potential. Looks like doing portraits in chacoal requires one to have a kneadable eraser to get better results. Are in china or korea?

[@zinlimart]

I use willow charcoal mostly, rarely use compressed charcoal. You will enjoy the similarity of charcoal and oil approach. I originally from Seoul, Korea and live in San Francisco.

[@leilakanso6058]

White pencils using?

[@zinlimart]

No. It's kneaded eraser.

[@irajpartovi]

This is the most amazing thing I have watched. What are the tools you are using? What kind of charcoal? Is the sharp object a charcoal pencil? If so what kind? I love your work.

[@sujaypande]

Hey Iraj, I guess he's using willow/vine charcoal.

[@MrSaadabdulaziz]

You are beautifull. Love you who ever you are. GOD BLESS YOU.

[@luisbustamante7319]

Su trabajo es increíble. Trabajaré duro hasta llegar a su nivel. ❤️

Excellent work 👍 I love and have this music track! Keep it up 😉

[@zinlimart]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@stultitia.]

[@ameyakulkarni4694]

Is that compressed charcoal or wine stick that you have used?

[@ralphwolf3787]

great overalls! In what material do you prefer to design?

[@zinlimart]

Material list is a the description of the video or at www.zinlim.com/qa

[@hell4sell]

[@halibut1249]

Nice charcoal portrait!! Live or from photo?? I would lighten sitter's left eye, raise highlight just fraction to make it equal with her right eye. Is this finished or would you take it further, the hair for example?? Thank you for letting us look over your shoulder.

[@zinlimart]

I have not finished anything yet in my life. Just stopped there:)

[@redwanulhaque6591]

i'm still fixed on her right eye. why wouldn't you even out that forehead line!

[@ejkoh4527]

It’s a shadow I think

[@m.e858]

I have question please , is this staying permanent on the paper ? or it's so easy to erase and mess up ?

[@zinlimart]

Spray fixative.

[@cnash5647]

It's not easy to erase, but do mess up and smudge with ease. Consider preserving your artwork with fixatives, or use a hairspray to substitute with fixatives.

[@leilakanso6058]

Love your work

[@zinlimart]

Thank you!
