I just completed the 10 lesson videos on this rhino, and I have to say it’s the most wonderful drawing ✍️ I’ve ever created. Matt is an excellent teacher, and I learned a lot of new techniques and applications. Thanks Matt for opening up these lessons for everyone. Looking forward to joining you for more.

I use black charcoal pencil in my darkest darks to avoid that graphite shine. It really makes my pencil drawings pop.

[@beckyquick4025]

Thanks for this. I'm planning on doing a very detailed portrait of a very wrinkled old man using a toned paper which I've not tried before. I was unsure of whether or not graphite pores and wrinkles could be applied over white charcoal highlights but II can see from watching this that I can, it's just white over graphite that I need to avoid, unless I'm guessing I deliberately want to tone down any area of graphite? Very informative video. I have Subscribed to your channel.

Does Graphite pencils and Charcoal pencils work on mix media paper?

[@uncleatelier8495]

Wow, that's amazing.~^^

[@Sharkdog11b]

I’ve heard other artists say the white is basically chalk

Beatiful drawing

[@thevirtualinstructor]

Thank you so much 😀

[@LisaIngArt]

Woua so cool :)

[@pentachronic]

Very helpful. I noticed you put a light layer ow white charcoal down and then added graphite on top. Would it be better to leave blank canvas in the charcoal areas and shade more lightly with dark tones ? I'm concerned with the muddiness. Really appreciate you sharing this as I'm about to lift a graphite drawing I'm working on and need this info. Saved me doing lot's of experimenting!! I will do a swatch anyway but at least I have some food info to go from. Thanks.

Thanks, i'm really learning from you each video you make, but i have question out off topic can you please tell me what the name of this music in back ground ?

[@tjduprey]

500 series is "premium" and is their best paper. The "best" designation does not literally mean it is their BEST paper. The strathmore series designations do more to confuse than to assist new or young artists

[@nickmurray7703]

Strathmore doesn't have toned paper in their 500 series, so technically it is the best...

Hello, may I ask to have a video tutorial on how to take realistic sushi food? thank you

[@erkerk76]

Hello, when i use white charcoal on my charcoal drawings, it makes yellowish.. i use white paper is it because of that , does anyone knows it or how to get rid of this or avoid yellowish because it ruins my drawings

[@DroneviewPo]

👍👍👍

Please give me reference photo

[@Leroyshoeshinebrown]

This is a Unicorn. Unicornis, uni=one cornis=horn. Rhinoceros has two horns.

[@nickmurray7703]

2 of the 5 rhino species have 1 horn, the Javan, and the greater one-horned rhino. The only true test for a unicorn is if it farts rainbows and we will never know the answer to that one :(

[@natelierart]

Incredible ! It looks like a photo !!
