Which brand of white charcoal you are using?

[@Anthraxoxo]

Excellent video. After finished what you use to keep permanently the white charcoal on the paper? Thank you.

[@griselrodriguez4802]

There is a product called fixative that you can use. I have never used it for charcoal but for graphite but I'm sure it works the same.

[@luc1d356]

Great technique but proportions are wrong. Eyes are too close to each other

[@ADELINECREATIVEVLOGS]

[@hxon_9570]

Wtf is a "hahhh level" don't you mean "high level"

[@socalsal627]

Amazing, I have been wanting to do one of these for so long and am excited to try. The internet has so many cool high contrast black and white photos to use as samples. This one looked a bit like Nicole Kidman - am I right? :)

[@jonashall9800]

Beautiful 😁 I hope that one day I Can draw something like This 😍

[@ChrisR_68]

[@luciana0609]

hahaha I know right?

[@thepochade5992]

Mara Black... Meet Too !!!!!! Wouldn't you just pick that shaving off ? I couldn't continue to draw with that hanging there, in the way.... 😞

[@marablack1233]

April Palmer ...I know, ya can't tell me that wasn't noticeable 😤😄

[@thepochade5992]

Mara Black Maybe it was intentional, to aggravate us OCD'ers, which creates more comments ? lol .. coz I really can't see any artist leaving that there while they're working 😲😲😲

[@marablack1233]

April Palmer, Agreed👍, and I have to say,.. that's a wee bit mean don't ya' think😟 😂😂😂

[@Davearmstrong42]

For some reason, I work better in reverse... I've been doing white on black for as long as I can remember... great vid!

[@tinaharnack3704]

for a beginner, it would be helpful to see the photo you are working from.

[@deirdrewoolford7476]

[@jaredpatterson1701]

[@athenasword1]

So, when drawing a portrait black becomes white and vice verser? I’m about ,for the first time Sherlock Holmes portrait using this way

[@shelleygeorge7312]

Wow. Beautiful! Thank you so much for the lesson.

[@applepie895etetsffsffs]

I was on rush and I went to the store to buy a sketchbook and I didn’t even open it and when I came home and opened the sketchbook the papers were black🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m such an idiot😂😂 but thank god that I bought white charcoal what a nice coincidence I was looking for a blending stump but cuz a I am an idiot I’ve put the white charcoal in the basket without looking but since I opened the sketchbook and ripped some papers I can’t get back to the store so…i have to learn how to draw with it🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sayanpandit89]

Yeah I was once in a rush too I dunno why from then they are scared of me and call me ghost😅

[@abh6967]

What if you make a mistake?

[@AllThingsSoul]

Erase it with a regular rubber eraser. However, if you erase too much, smudges will show.

[@Robert328851]

Please answer! Do I need to fix white charcoal? It's not coarse at all right? the layer is smooth..

[@gypsysnickerdoodle4354]

Robert328851 yes

[@mihirsanghvi6199]

[@eightiesboyfilms5407]

Amazing

[@thevirtualinstructor]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Vic101able]

This white charcoal portrait on black paper video was awesome, but I think the highlights on the lips were way too strong. They stand out way too much. That should been tone down a bite. That said, this was very helpfull, in it approach and completion.

[@AllThingsSoul]

That is your opinion. I don't agree. The lips look amazing! They are actually the best part of the piece. Everyone knows art is subjective, meaning there is no standard for rating it "beautiful." The beauty of it is in the eye of the beholder. So why comment and tell an artist that you think something is too much? Just turn the channel.
