Shading a sphere in charcoal

[@nckoel15]

More videos like this please!!! The way that you explain everything is so easy for me to follow and I love your tips and techniques. I started using my charcoal kit less than a week ago and I absolutely love how this drawing came out !!!

[@jordanswain]

nckoel15 thank you so much! I’m working on a bunch right now, are there any particular techniques you would want to learn?

[@mistytanner212]

Thank you for doing this, there are so many tutorials on charcoal, but this is the best for someone who is starting,.

[@jordanswain]

Thank you so much!

[@mistytanner212]

Did you do a landscape? I saw someone asked for one. I would like to try too.

Is it possible to start off on charcoal without any previous drawing knowledge?

[@almamsmith7259]

Your text covers the shading area

[@jessesmart4]

Can you please do one on charcoal landscapes?

[@jordanswain]

Such a good idea! I totally will if you’re interested! What kind of landscapes do you like?

@@jordanswain could you do a beach? Based on any type of beach you like.

Is it me or is your center light and highlight on the wrong side.

[@jordanswain]

It’s you. It’s omnidirectional light.

[@danmerritt5009]

It's not you. It's stated in the video that the light source is in the top right and to the side, but the object highlight is oriented as if the primary light source was located above the viewer's head. Light rays are always straight, so the light coming from an omnidirectional light source will still be directional relative to an object in space.

I agree with nckeol15. And if you were looking for other people who hold there pencil weird, I rest mine on my pinkie instead of my ring finger.
