Beautiful! Thank you!

[@riikkaliinaturkki]

Thanks. This is very fine. ... It feels like we all are in the same level but soon the hand of the artist goes and works another piece of the whole. It is amazing... It is an opportunity for me to see an artist work a chracoal drawing. I myself can handle only little 💗 When i work thoughts of doing something with my drawing rush in the head and calmly i just try to do the best. Sometimes a thread i yet can't follow disturbs me and takes me. It's a road i don't like but sometimes it opens a door. If you study you'll learn. But ill learn and try to maintain the good and for a while i do the safe way... ☘️ Thanks again. And it's so blessing to see you work. 🐕 I am able to understand my own process of doing art.

This is so helpful i also love this paper can i know what it is?

[@Taichistretchingspace3479]

Can you please recommend a - grey paper - for charcoal portraits …thank you from New Zealand

[@joelcervantes6919]

What type of charcoal? Willow or vine? Thanks so much for the amazing tutorial!

[@imanyme5154]

Sir, thanks for this video. I have a some questions about the measuring. >Is this necessary to consider the exactly right proportions?(For live portrait) >Isn't it enough that the sketch define the exact person(For which making the portrait) I am greatly inspired by your work and I have also learned a lot from your channel. Again Thanks

[@YongChen]

There can be different ways and processes for composition and measurement, but it is very good to do that at the early of the drawing process. I have many lessons focused on the measuring techniques. Happy New Year!

Please show the model while your drawing .. to make it easier to follow what you are doing ... thank you and it's beautiful as usual .......

[@anastassiyakim7041]

I love ur videos,they r super helpful and easy to follow. But when i try myself, my portraits rarely look like a refetence, even though i m trying to do roughly measurements ,that makes me upset... do not know how to overcome it

[@nonemorning4957]

The best thing in my amateur opinion is to just keep going. Even if you’re unhappy with how your drawing is turning out, finish it! Turn it into something else! Change the style! If you’re drawing a portrait and the proportions are off, lean into it, make this character look ugly and crazy. Learn to laugh at your work, learn to repurpose, and never stop trying! It truly just takes lots of patience and practice. I’m rooting for you, friend!

[@prasanthkc-md2gq]

What type of charcoal pencils do you use sir ?

[@maheshmannsolanki7082]

Please tell me the name of the white pencil 🙏

[@hala_O4]

صح اني ما بهم اللغة بس شكرا😂🌺الشرح حلو

[@pascalminette4224]

I suppose each model wants to keep her own portrait ?

[@YongChen]

Yes. Happy New Year!

[@pascalminette4224]

@@YongChen thanks, happy new year to you and your family too !

[@ernestoguevara7624]

The better way in order to measure is with a ruler.When I will be a Master,I will be able to do that only with a piece of pencil.

Happy New Year!
