I really love the charcoal sketch over graphite . In graphite you already begins from shape and outlines then you go for shades. But in charcoal, its like an art taking birth just like statue makers.....and at the end wow.,..,🔥❤️

[@zinlimart]

Yes, I love the way like sculpting.

So therapeutic to watch the face unfold! Thank you for this!

[@zinlimart]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@amarissimus29]

This is why blocking is important, kids. Big shapes first. Get the light source right and the rest will follow. Sometimes a single stroke can define a feature by itself. Charcoal is the best.

[@TheChunder3]

That’s talent. Incredible. Thanks for sharing

Very nice

[@babutalik8774]

Zin, this is cool. I have been contemplating using charcoal to draw portraits but haven't found the time nor the guts. But am impressed with the potential of charcoal as a medium for drawing lovely and eye catching portraits. This looks like a very patient approach but it is worth trying. Thanks again for sharing your gift, am inspired.

[@zinlimart]

Thanks. What I like about charcoal is that there are many similarity in application of oil painting.

[@babutalik8774]

Thanks for the reply Zin. I have not tried oil paint but will do someday. Here in my country, we don't seem to have compressed charcoal sold in art stores. however, we do have charcoal pencils especially from china. Will try the medium and explore its potential. Looks like doing portraits in chacoal requires one to have a kneadable eraser to get better results. Are in china or korea?

[@zinlimart]

I use willow charcoal mostly, rarely use compressed charcoal. You will enjoy the similarity of charcoal and oil approach. I originally from Seoul, Korea and live in San Francisco.
