ZIMOU TAN | ART | How to draw, with toned paper.

[@nerzenjaeger]

Master Tan, would you consider doing an in-depth video on measuring? How can we improve on our proportions through exercise?

[@bozoclown2098]

So,not a fan of toned tan paper ( that color and brand) . The made pink but only in a small pad.

[@Alfreda66]

Thank you again for another great tutorial. Your advice to plan as much as possible before you start drawing is very critical to success. Thanks

[@ZimouTan]

You are welcome, I am glad it is useful for you.

[@nerowanart4335]

Really well done. I like the subtle soft brushed on the face. They look killer on that toned paper. Lots of great texture and detailed work in the hair. Excellent piece 👌😊- best of luck on your art and your channel ,and much support from one artist to another. Massive 👍's Up.

Just the video I was looking for , awesome work to 🙌🏻 I’ve done pictures on toned paper before but not used enough of the paper to my advantage,starting my first one on commission and have been so nervous about getting it right. very useful video thank you

[@luisdebayle2239]

How can I blend charcoal like you ? Do you blend with dirty finger? Because when I blend it erases all.

[@ZimouTan]

It depends on the pressure on your fingertip, and the amount of charcoal on your finger.

One question: Can we mix white with black or better not?

What color of paper is better : Gray or brown?

[@Artistnidhii]

Wowww! How you are so underated 🔥🙌

[@zonvas]

Another great work ...

[@ZimouTan]

Thank you, Pencil art.

[@erictaunton2183]

Very nice I really enjoyed the video

[@allanpennington]

A smooth transition between the white chalk and toned paper where the mid tones are appear difficult to achieve. Would it be easier with a grey toned paper rather than brown?

[@ZimouTan]

Actually, the value of the paper is more important than the color, even the color is also important. When I look at the toned paper, the first thing come to mind is what value is it? Then, is this a good color to use?

[@tracymolina7685]

Beautiful! I have a question, I bought some charcoal sticks to start practicing but it is very difficult to blend, what kind of charcoal do you use? Is it a special one?

[@ZimouTan]

[@caileanparis9998]

Awesome!

[@vishalratmele]

Can you please tell us which white pencil to use, because the ones i have (general's and cretacolor) they are very hard and don't get this white???

[@ZimouTan]

I use the General's white chalk pencil, one reason might be the tone of the paper, the darker of the paper the whiter the chalk will appears.

[@vishalratmele]

@@ZimouTan ohh my god thankyou so much for replying sir. You are awesome!! ❤

[@ZimouTan]

@@vishalratmele You are welcome.

[@vishalratmele]

Hello sir, I tried a darked toned paper but the white chalk pencil won't make a mark on it either. Sir i am using hot pressed water color paper that i toned with ink. Please sir can you tell me that is there a special kind of paper that will work for the white charcoal/chalk pencil. Please help me sir, i have turned the whole web upside down looking for some info on this there is nothing on this topic. I would be so thankful if you can help me with this. I make portraits with graphite and charcoal what kind of paper can i use to make portraits with graphite charcoal and white chalk pencil??? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ZimouTan]

First of all, hot-pressed watercolor paper is not for graphite, charcoal, and white chalk pencil, it is too smooth. You can try the charcoal toned paper or pastel paper, it needs texture on the paper surface to hold on to the mediums. Hope this would give you the help you need.

[@vishalratmele]

@@ZimouTan thankyou so so much for the help sir. You are a savior. Thankyou so so much. I can't thankyou enough!! ❤🙏

[@ZimouTan]

@@vishalratmele You are very welcome.

[@greekveteran2715]

@@ZimouTan I don't agree that Watercolor Hotlressed paper is too smooth and thus not good for graphite and charcoal. Arches HP is known to be the best paper for graphite and Fabriano Artistico HP,is known to be the best for Polychromos and Charcoal. Even Bristol works The reason his pencil didnt work,was probably the white pencil itself that he was using,or the kind of toning hitshe, or both.

[@gundwanrushinga1373]

....and what was the toned paper you used?

[@ZimouTan]

I use the Strathmore toned paper.
