[@theangelojay]

You've really honed your craft! ... it's incredible to watch. I'm sitting here trying to understand what happened to the girl on the left to make her so sad, why do her eyes just say pain. Well done! You make it look so easy! 👏 Oh noooo, at 14:52 you change her eyes and suddenly she's not sad anymore. I don't know if I'm happy about that. 🤣

[@emmanuelvazquez9477]

Your work is so beautiful

[@zinlimart]

+Elessar Fantasía Arcana Thanks for watching:)

[@matthewsound249]

Instead of using regular charcoal to tone the canvas i would use vine charcoal powder to do the same job it's very soft and u are more likely to get an even tone and less likely to damage the paper.

[@matthewsound249]

Ok I take dat back(Lol

[@zinlimart]

Good tip for people who want softer under-tone.

[@everettwhite9874]

Zin Lim At the beginning of the video didn’t you say you were using vine charcoal to make the powder? Isn’t vine charcoal powder from a jar and that which you sanded basically the same thing? Maybe I misunderstood.

[@user-by5uy6xe3v]

Hello. I really like the way you draw! I only started drawing a year ago. Tell me, what method do you use to build the skull and head?

[@katherandefy]

Gosh this is rock star level

[@samdonald1983]

Beautiful. Can you tell us the brand and firmness of the thick charcoal used at the beginning of the drawing. Thank you

[@zinlimart]

You can see material list I use at www.zinlim.com/qa

[@John.edirector]

Hola. Que tipo de papel se utiliza? Gracias por los videos

[@ferkinskin]

Fantastic.Thanks

[@samanthathompson9812]

Does anyone know if he's using compressed charcoal or vine charcoal for the drawing part (not the toning part)? thanks

[@hendrytia3351]

You are awesome.

[@stoogemund]

These videos are amazing! Can I ask you what sort of paper you are using?

[@zinlimart]

+Ken Coogan I used Strathmoor sketch 50lb for this demo.

[@stoogemund]

Zin Lim Thanks!! I use regular sugar paper for charcoal work. Seems to work ok but I'd like to try the Strathmoor to see the difference.....

[@zinlimart]

+Ken Coogan Strathmoor 50lb for this demo but I also work on Blick or Utrecht drawing pad 70-80lb as well as on Bristol which are thicker, easier to preserve.

[@Aagggyy]

Would this work if you were to have charcoal paper toned with vine charcoal?

[@zinlimart]

Charcoal drawing paper surface is more rough than this paper. So, powder won't be smudged as easily as this smoother paper.

[@santiagoluib3]

Awesome video! May I know what paper are you using? I like the way how the charcoal can easily be erased with finger.

[@santiagoluib3]

Sorry I didn't see the same question being answered already :) Srathmoor Sketch 50lb

[@zinlimart]

That's fine not all people notice that.

[@sunilnarine6313]

Zin lim can you please tell me the background music ? Thanks in advance :)

[@zinlimart]

+Sunil Narine For older videos, I've chosen bgm fits to my video from KZbin music library and can't find the title now. My recent videos have the credit of the music at the description.

[@matthewsound249]

But maybe instead of putting the powder right on top of the paper...u can put the powder on a separate sheet of paper dip a clean tissue and then blend it on another clean sheet it would be more smoother.

[@fernandosiage5819]

WoW!

[@runoruno6533]

Does compressed charcoal powder works the same?

[@zinlimart]

+Sai Furu It's hard to erase comp. charcoal than willow or vine.

[@donrogers776]

what type of white paper are you using?

[@zinlimart]

+Don Rogers Any brand of 50-80lb medium tooth paper and sometimes Bristol

[@donrogers776]

Thanks for the information Zin!

[@matthewsound249]

Ok I take dat back (Lol
