Layering charcoal and graphite to achieve photorealism on a dark wash background [part 1]

[@jaysubrosa6147]

I have to say! You are quite courageous using charcoal in perfectly white pants! Impressive!

[@julietaylor5075]

Carly you are so inspirational, Thankyou 🙏💕

[@michaelchesnulavich4345]

great work. White pants and charcoal... very brave

[@theobolt250]

And yes, your process, fascinating to watch. Since I saw your work passing by on YT... got the drawing jitters all over again.

Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Your work is awesome Carly!! Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@aaronwoodring9823]

Amazing! I love the charcoal and graphite wash idea.

[@acerituraj4153]

Excellently executed. It's a real treat to see all the favorite techniques of drawing getting executed so precisely in one video. I loved the part showing close up on graphite water being used with brush. There was a part where water was flowing down on paper as narrow streams it reminded me of watercolors cauliflower effect which is cool effect to use. Another part of the drawing I absolutely loved so far was the pattern created by the huge brush. The patterns make it appear as if the drawing is made on wood instead of paper which is really cool. There was a close up in video around leg region where it could be seen prominently. I liked how circular scribbles were blended into a smooth shade using brush. Another thing worth mentioning is how well you have managed to work on this drawing using two different pictures on your tab not an easy thing to do with all the switches that take place in two pictures while creating a masterpiece. Start for this drawing has been really great so I'm super excited on how it looks after getting completed. Another thing I would like to mention is a drawing that we see in video during sponsor section. The drawing of child behind you while talking about the sponsor of video has so much life to it besides just realistic look. Eyes and smile of the kid in that drawing are very lively and talking to its viewers. Of course the main focus was the drawing you're currently working on but it would be unfair if I didn't talk about the kid's drawing. You're doing an amazing work. Keep it up. 👍

Your work it's beautiful history written with pencil

[@joseantoniolopez7522]

Carly, me gusta todo tu trabajo. Eres muy meticulosa en el trazo y en los detalles. Gracias por mostrarnos tu paso a paso. Me gustan los fondos, pero mucho mas los menos acabados. Yo soy acuarelista y combino lo abstracto con lo realista. Adelante con lo que haces👌👍

[@jadedenthusiasms]

I just love the grey backgrounds you've been doing! And seeing your light pencils drawing in spots, obviously its probably more noticeable for you in person, but sometimes when I've sketched real light, I'll lose track of some of my lines😳😆 especially on difficult flowers or something, I'll have to step back and get my bearings again on where I'm at...and that's just my simple stuff....so I'm always impressed at watching your process. You're also always so calm and relaxed...I need to try to get my zen back :) As always, love your videos...so we'll thought out and put together, beginning to end, beautifully done :) I hope you're getting settled into your new place well :) Thanks as always!!❤

[@carlyrenee.art]

Oh I always loose my initial lines and forget where I am up to 😂 I depend on the reference photo a lot. But thank you so much I appreciate it

[@jadedenthusiasms]

@@carlyrenee.art yup, I do the same...after a few freak out minutes I look at my references to try n find where I was, or, more often, I just go with it and know it'll be a bit different then expected 😳🤷🏼‍♀️ otherwise my frustration will get the best of me🙄😬😁

[@brianrogersart]

Carly I love how this piece is starting, it looks amazing. I’m also impressed with how you are doing your videos, a casual follow me along type vibe to it. Sorry about having to move but I guarantee that your art will still be beautiful.

Thank you so much Brian, that’s exactly what I hoped for with these videos 😊

What paper works best paper for graphite pencils done 3 drawings at the min but I don't know if I have the right paper lol

[@lb005a]

Wonderful work as usual Carly. I see you have now used the Arches aquellia paper. How does it compare to the Saunders Waterford? Thank you.

[@carlyrenee.art]

Thank you so much! It’s very similar! I think I like it better so far but it doesn’t feel as heavy or thick

[@cakkoco]

Love from Indonesia🥰😍😍🇮🇩

[@mykingoooo3960]

Que es lo que le aplicas al principio al papel... y cual es el propósito?? 🤔

[@RichardLiuArt]

Just started using this paper as well! Have you tried to wet it with just water first? I think it really helps keep it flat and prevents the paper from warping (also good for content haha)

Can i ask what is the purpose of charcoal in mixing the water?

[@carlyrenee.art]

It’s graphite, and it’s just to create the dark background:)

Hi love your art! Can I ask? Do you use the same material/paper/cloth on all your art?

Thank you so much! Yes I used to use the same paper for all my drawings and now I use the same canvas for all my paintings. Let me know if you want to know which ones :)

@@carlyrenee.art Yes please! Apart from Graphite, and Colours Pencils. I really enjoy Charcoal. Haven't been keen on paint. However, when I watch you paint, it's beautiful.

I talk about it all here in an old video but it’s still all the same info today kzbin.info/www/bejne/hajdh3-ar7yAaNUsi=pGAxMolytvuuSmuV and for my paintings I use a triple primed poly cotton blend canvas. I love it! It’s super smooth and just like paper
