Expressive Charcoal Portrait Drawing Tutorial

[@compaypeyo8949]

I think it would be helpful to have a small image of your reference drawing in one of the corners of the video

[@Appalachian_Hippie]

This would be BEYOND helpful w getting started

[@slicedbread4980]

or maybe not cutting ahead randomly and saying “ive pushed the values a little further now” lol

[@Sephlarite]

I do recommend

[@daytonagreg8765]

Otherwise… ? I’m not sure why so many KZbin artists do this. Most everything they say is meaningless. A waste of what I’m sure would have been a useful tutorial. Frustrating.

[@MrTigerBubba]

freeze the video where he shows the reference > screen capture it > arrange the window displaying the youtube video and the screencapture so that they both sit nicely on your monitor. In a nuthsell: God helps those who help themselves.

[@SB-rf2ye]

8:25 you can tell how skilled he is, by simply seeing how much he is able to demonstrate. Drawing takes more of an internal feeling to get right. Most don't even know what they are doing. Yet he is able to illustrate how he is thinking, and that is a very powerful skill.

[@bonitaroberts1217]

I would reccomend your demos to students as well as artist friends. Your drawings are poetic, atmospheric and simply beautiful. I'm wondering if you maintain those qualities in your paintings.

[@2gooddrifters]

I'm recommending your channel to my art group. You've transformed my drawing skills. Can't thank you enough. Love from England.

[@benspeeds]

Youre doing a great job of converting your thought process into words. It's not an easy thing to do especially while you are drawing/painting at the same time.

[@hudsontafelski9808]

Could you make a video about your reference points that you use, like how you used the eye to find where to put the mouth?

[@fasil.364]

He is try to show the structure not to show in detail the eye or the mouth likeness. I like this kind rough drawing because it’s artistic!

[@brianh8801]

I just found your channel and subscribed. I really like how you emphasize establishing similar values on different parts of the face and detailing the areas where the light hits. Your technique and work is amazing!

[@greekveteran2715]

That's the portait of Psarantonis! He is the brother of famous Nikos Xilouris, both Cretan musicians.He comes from Crete Island of Greece. I live there too. If you didn't try to make the portait of Psarantonis, then the similaritiy is more than a simple coincidence!

[@s2cardinal]

This looks exactly like my drawing professor Mr. Jim Pearson. Amazing man! And this is a fantastic drawing!

[@TOURLADAIOS]

He is Psarantonis. Famous greek folk singer.

[@MsSuchi007]

The drawing overall is brilliant. However, when its a tutorial with step by step guidance, it should have been less edited. At 10.50 minutes, there was no moustache, but at 10.51, the moustache and mouth were all very distinct. The process in between was not shown.

[@isabella8819]

Great tutorial! I’d like to suggest if you can show the reference on camera while you’re drawing... I don’t know how to explain but this helps to understand what you’re doing not just watch the process

[@ekfishing1223]

Wonderful expression... many thanks for the authentic joy of creating...

[@archibaltpacers]

"Eventually the more you work on your drawing, the more they'll disappear. Just you don't have to worry too much about being too neat with them."

[@leslovesart]

You’re a fabulous teacher and of course an amazing artist. I’ve learned so much about working with charcoal from your videos. This is Excellent from start to finish

[@we4r119]

Your charcoal portraits are insanely wonderful. Thankyou for sharing your method of working. 🙏🏼❤️

[@ΣιφουςΣφεν-θ4τ]

Ο Αντώνης Ξυλούρης, γνωστός ευρύτερα με το παρατσούκλι Ψαραντώνης (Ανώγεια Ρεθύμνου, 6 Σεπτεμβρίου 1942 ), είναι Έλληνας μουσικός και ένας από τους πιο γνωστούς Κρητικούς λυράρηδες.

[@DerickWells]

great watching your work manifest on the page. Ordering Panpastels today to try those out. So neat!

[@odedonn3912]

Great vid - thank you! It would be awesome if you can share how you drew the beard. Did you use the kneaded eraser for the “white hair”?

[@donnabrooks7783]

Love this video and thank you! I have been trying this and having so much fun with it! Sometimes it is successful and other times not, but I am learning!

[@brentthierry1769]

Hello Mr charcoal, you are the best one to transmit the good way to progress ...do thanks you so much for that 🙏👣🐾👣🐾...and it s Aldo famous to pratcice english... So would you like to try Mona Lisa...? 😮😊...nice day between France Pyrénées 😉

[@skiphoffenflaven8004]

What a weird world, all these folks turning a room in their house into a recording studio-broadcasting station for strangers. Expensive equipment (not too bad, some items), lots of time. Sometimes asking for money for doing so. Comments left to tell what the person should have done differently, complaints about “content”.

[@renzo6490]

“Hey, guys” There are two terms: Guys and Gals. But the word 'guys' has been adopted to include both genders. Of the two terms, why has GUYS been adopted? Why not 'gals' ? The answer is that there is a higher societal value to being male than there is to being female. Why are males bothered when addressed as 'gals' but females are assumed not to be bothered when addressed as 'guys' ? Why are women allowed to dress like men, but men cannot dress like women ? Why can women adopt men's names but men can't adopt women's names? There is a higher societal value to being male than there is to being female. It's SEXISM in speech and writing. Drop "Guys". The word ''Folks'' is better.

[@sonianikol5053]

I hope you know whose portrait you've made here..! He is Psarantonis a great musician from the island of Crete in Greece! Search for his music in youtube...

[@ariadivanchi4891]

Thanks for your lovely work, detailed and simple explanation, in total contrast to listening to the so many anoying noises you've also shared with us! Please put a glass of water nearby to clear your throat, or edit the noises after finishing the video. Thanks again for your kind and generoud tutoial. All the best.

[@akshayrao2566]

You are just amazing sir! Capturing the essence is what this medium is about! And you totally nail it there.

[@69narsus68]

That is fantastic, beautiful drawing. Thank you for the tutorial

[@sussu3213]

You explain very well actually. So inspiring! I’m so in love with your work. And panpastel was just the thing I was looking after all. Im so glad I found this.

[@chun-hohung1773]

I like how you talk about those principles (values + proportion, build those first then refine), instead of simply saying here's step 1 and then step 2. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@toshiya4979]

divine talent and understanding. but my favourite is how clear and precise you teach

[@johnmurphy3215]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, that’s a cool portrait I’d be happy to hang on the wall 👍

[@GezthisISmyusername]

I absolutely enjoy your channel, your work and how you communicate. Thank you for posting and giving your time!

[@sutheerths180]

Plz also add your reference pic

[@Eliel7230]

Excellent tutorial ! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@takagamingproductions84]

This guy closely reminds me of Psarantonis,a Greek singer,is that him?

[@allanpennington]

Does the black Pan Pastel lift as well as willow charcoal?

[@gavinstrother919]

Hi love the video! I am getting into charcoal portraits and was wondering what easel you are using. I would really like to know!

[@tenissonrocha8683]

Such awesome class. Thank you man 👏🇧🇷

[@lorenzaromeroruiz9060]

Hello master Cual es papel adecuado ?? Saludos desde mexico !!

[@vamsikrishna6083]

Can we use charcoal powder instead of pan pastel?

[@weelynn1862]

wow so talented! Fantastic drawing and I learned a lot from your teaching, thanks :)

[@paddymeboy]

I like the pic. A lot of the pics you see on online tutorials are so bland. As the man said, I think you have at least a trace of talent!

[@นรินทร์อยู่พงษ์]

Seems. To. be. easy. to. do. very. diffcult. ,,,,,,,

[@thanospeppas9697]

[@renzo6490]

We ( I ) really do need to be able to see your photo reference as you draw. That way, we can get an idea of why you make the marks you make. Of course, that would mean training your camera lens on your paper so we can see it just as you see it. Otherwise,it is a demonstration but not really a 'tutorial'.

[@vlatkogacesa]

amateur.......not to see

[@MrTibbs2163]

Thanks for the interesting charcoal tutorial and how you used the pan pastel and soft palet knife. Up until now I've been using charcoal dust and make-up brushes/blenders.

[@eslammohamedaziz3007]

Amazing thank you for teaching me ❤

[@ms_zaku.1415]

😊For​ me​ you​ are "The​ best​ of​ The​ best". 🤟Love​ all​ of​ clips🤟Respect​ to​ you.👍👍👍😊

[@platiniathens8066]

The model must be PSARANTONIS, a Lyre musician and singer from Crete of Greece. The heavymetal of Crete!

[@ΣΠΥΡΙΔΩΝΓΟΥΛΑΣ]

man this is psarantonis for creta greece a very famous musician

[@efche3927]

Κοπελια!! Ο Ψαραντωνης!

[@oldoutsider59]

I'm an older senior. I've done some sculpture and some writing but never any painting, drawing, or charcoal. One afternoon, not long ago, I was watching a young woman in the park encouraging something out of a piece of paper with a chunk of charcoal. I watched and watched this cloud of gray, black and white....chaos, chaos, chaos and all of a sudden... a beautiful face.So far....pretty terrible. I wont quit though...even though you and that young lady make it look unobtainablely simple. Wonderful work. I'll keep watching, listening, and trying to learn. thank you.

[@mrart6985]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I am always loving your charcoal drawing and currently I am improving my drawing skills because of your tutorial, thanks a lot 💕

[@crippiekaraoke6335]

I bought black panpastel about 6 months ago. Finally got around to trying it yesterday & was an epic fail! Lol! Gonna keep trying...

[@meloskencil8262]

Guys Jesus loves you, so much he lived just to die for you to be saved from sin. Please accept him into your life. He loves you despite who you are and what you have done. He cares for you, and just wants to fellowship with you. He is coming soon so please be prepared, and none of us know when we will die. Please he Loves you SOOOOOO much leave the cares of this world behind and come to Christ and LIVE! GOD bless you all.

[@ArtistAnupamBiswas]

please send me the name of this knife i need this charcoal to work please send us the name of this spetula or give us the amazon link thank you

[@essveekaye]

2023.. your my favourite.

[@LordHugorion]

random funfact: The man in the drawing is a really bad ass Greek Folk Musican. We make jokes, that he may be a incarnation of Zeus, because of his look but also his unique voice kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2mxYo2EaMeqsLc

[@LisaRavenSpirit]

Your creations are beautiful! Question Do you spray them to keep them set?

[@deigo2629]

Definitely not bad at explaining... the best thing you do throughout your entire videos is continuously talk .. you are constantly giving inside tips and tricks in your explanation of theory and perspective

[@jenniferfreeman2776]

One way to explain about the shadow detail is, You want to have a refined focal point so your drawing or painting reads like the natural human gaze. The viewer can only focus on one area for detail. That is natural observation. So you are trying to mimic the natural way the human eyes see. That is why you create a focal point in your work. The lost information gives them something to mentally engage with. Great job! Love your channel.

[@fpatrocinio]

Great tutorial! Going to grap my Pan Pastel and give it a go.

[@coolshah1662]

Lovely. Subscribed. I like your voice. It's nice!

[@santosharjun16]

He is really nice guy by true heart..

[@kaygoski]

Super helpful like taking a large paintbrush to blur the image and also making a chisel shape with the eraser. Thank you !
