[@undercovers9203]

It's amazing how much inspiration I get from you and the rest of yt artists!!!!

[@JH-ct9fj]

Thank you very much

[@DevinC_]

Nice work! I recently started using Nitram just to try it out. I feel like I burn through it quicker than other charcoal.

[@zinlimart]

+Devin It was my first time test for Nitram charcoal which is different from willow I mostly have been using.

[@spindelhalla]

My experience with Nitram is different, in fact it lasts me longer than other vine/willow sticks.

[@DevinC_]

Rob I've only used it once, but I love the quality of the charcoal

[@zinlimart]

+Rob I hope it can work for me as well.

[@MagnoArtes]

Maravilha!

[@yvonnevandenberg3769]

Wonderfull!

[@SoCalledMe1]

Amazing as always :D ! Whats the biggest format that you drew with charcoal on , and do you enjoy working on small formats more than you do on big ones ?

[@zinlimart]

+f g Upto 30x40 inches. Normally 12x16-24x18 the size are good for me store flat.

[@lukmananasyafi4402]

[@spindelhalla]

Thank you for your videos. What's your favorite paper for charcoal?

[@zinlimart]

I like to use Strathmoore Drawing pad for willpw charcoal. Thanks for watching.

[@shunde7798]

그림 마음에 들어요! 한국인이신 거 알고서 댓글 남겨보네요..독학중인데 쉽지 않네요

[@zinlimart]

어차피 그림은 9할이 독학인거 같애요. 외롭지만 힘내세요. 여기와 제 사이트에서 같은 방향일 동안 동행하시죠^^

[@shunde7798]

네! 고맙습니다 zin lim님 ㅎㅎ

[@ashokpradhan1980]

Specify the type of charcoal used. Thanks

[@seahawk100]

Wow. I didn't know that I could use a tortillion as an eraser . Cool. 👍

[@miguelrotaeche8582]

One charcoal has a sharper point than the other one. Are they different in softness? And you use the stump rather to clean the surface instead of darkening it. Do you clean your stump with sandpaper every time it disappears from the screen or so?

[@zinlimart]

I use same charcoal and sharpen on paper to keep the initial shape. I clean stump on eraser.

[@everettwhite9874]

Zin Lim Clean the stump with an eraser. 😳 I never thought of cleaning the stump with the eraser. When I was younger I probably would have been embarrassed that I didn’t know that-being 60, I’m not. I’m just glad I learned something new today. 😌 Thanks Mr Lim.

[@ryandacosta2652]

What kind of paper do you typically use? Or for this particular portrait?

[@zinlimart]

Strathmore 300 or 400 series.

[@chuca70]

[@zinlimart]

+Sheep Color Sorry. Please understand that I can't response to all the critique requests. If you are serious about my critique, email to [e-mail]

[@juzerayya4126]

For sharp detail at the end...if i use hb graphite ..will it give the same results..?

[@zinlimart]

It will shine differently form charcoal.

[@O00oo0o0o]

What kind of charcoal are you using sir? I really love your work.

[@zinlimart]

Willow. Thanks for watching!!!

[@CarlosContrerasZunig]
