[@veronicaalmroth4885]

I have been convinced. I've always wanted my drawings to have really black parts in it but I've never achieved that with graphite. I'm going to buy charcoal right away! Thank you!

[@stevie68a]

Even very dark graphite won't give you blacks because it has shine that catches light.

[@laigocustoms4965]

charcoal is the best way i found to achieve black m no matter the graphite grade it can only give different gradients of gray due to the light it catches , i do combine charcoal and graphite in many of my pieces

[@devishreesairajan9852]

If you struggle to make good art, understand that its not about talent or even having a good teacher. I finally realized its about being able to making bad art and keep going to that place no matter how frustrating. Allow it to exist. Tolerate it no matter the pain it causes you. But always go to that place.

So you are basically working on shape, form, dark to light. No fine details early on. This is riveting for me. I focused on details early on. I need to re evaluate everything. You're amazing. I must continue watching and learning from your genius.

[@ThePortraitArt]

thx!

[@craigpaulson3503]

That is s fantastic method. I have never done it that way; shading in an outline instead of a very light pencil sketch. I've always shaded last as I bring in the details. I can't wait to try it. It makes it easier for me to see the direction I need to go in order to bring it to life. A pre-sketch makes me feel like I need to follow it...Like coloring inside the lines(if that makes sense). Art is beautiful.

[@lylestavast7652]

So amazing. I can draw a line between 2 points without a ruler, but it ends there. There is such a parallel between this charcoal method and the experiences of life... you think you had a dark experience, and with a little time and perspective the deepness of it can be altered and positioned such that it becomes an attribute...

[@basementdweller1625]

out of all the mediums in drawing portraits. charcoal is the most fun to watch unfolding. others like colour pencil starts unfolding at some areas slowly but in charcoal it unfolds as a whole.

[@vincentaurelius2390]

I prefer a more expressive, rough charcoal texture over the end result here. It's amazing how close the drawing is to a photograph; the only problem I have with hyperrealism is that the hand of the artist disappears as he is simply copying reality, not interpreting it.

[@ajitasingh2640]

kzbin.info/door/B1mvsN9lKqJIBgMvF0pcJg

[@ThePortraitArt]

I agree with you. But this is no where near hyperrealism. Just realistic in style.

[@modelnaturephotography]

Maybe the interpretation of reality is a very real one. I completely understand the point you make, I look at charcoal portraits as much about negating interpretation of reality as I do interpreting reality, whatever that is.

[@steveharris1974]

Hyperrealism is when you struggle to tell the difference between the drawing and a photo of the subject that has been drawn, you will never see a hyperrealist start a drawing like this one. This is not hyperrealism, it's just an artist who completely understands the fundamentals of portraiture, therefore allowing him/her to be as abstract or exacting as they wish.

[@sashakartus3435]

that's really beautiful. It got to a point where you looked like you were no longer drawing a face but putting her makeup on. Wish I could draw.

[@CRAZYHELLBOY23]

How do you remove dark spot without ruining the whole thing? That’s my biggest problem... once I go too dark I can’t seem to fix the area without making the spot look like smudges of uneven spots.

[@friendlyatheist387]

Eraser or white chalk? I don't know just a guess

[@josephwillard9013]

might be the type of paper ur using isnt the best for manipulating charcoal. newsprint is one of the best

[@thosearepinklemons]

Lift dark areas by dabbing with a kneaded gum eraser and work in lighter tones on the dark areas with white chalk. Sometimes the white chalk won't work well over a thicker black layer but you can use a spray fixative to spray down the drawing and let it dry and then the white will go over those areas better

[@Haleymrn]

Same question

[@CRAZYHELLBOY23]

Joseph Willard probably right about that, so far I’ve been using strathmore toned gray paper and that other strathmore Griddy square paper. I never used newsprint tho. I’ll give it a try. So far I still leave uneven spots when I use the kneaded eraser, I’ll try different paper

I enjoy showing this video to my friends.. but What kind of paper is that?? My paper does not get rid of the charcoal when I use eraser..

[@everettwhite9874]

Nyigam Bole I’ve recently been practicing with charcoal, before I mostly used graphite. After watching many videos, the tips that helped me most was using softer charcoal and loading the blending stump to draw and when I needed to erase gently erase to preserve the integrity of the paper I use. Use light pressure and the charcoal can be removed easier. It worked for me. I hope it works for you too and I hope you don’t mind a somewhat inexperienced artist jumping in on your question. I just noticed no one had responded to your question. Best regards.
