Essential Drawing Materials 

THANK YOU! Just wonderful! You answered tons of questions I’ve accumulated over decades!

I hope you get a million plus subscribers, you deserve it. I have watched many drawing tutorials and yours have inspired me the most. Thank you.

Have you considered incorporating items such as a beauty blender, eyeshadow brushes, or applicators for your charcoal? They're fairly inexpensive, and you could get a large one that they use for body powders. In one of your shorts, you used a large wall paintbrush to change your texture.

Its just so good how you teach

Your work is incredible…it’s like sculpting in the sense that you see this form and make it come alive?

Thank you so much for all the info !!

I was hoping I would find something like this ! Thank u. I have subscribed

I was literally just thinking about this today, thank you!!

Thank you.i paint in oil,but you helped me a lot in drawings with your demonstrations

Great info, thank you so much.

The opportunity have home made drawing clips exist. Wow

You...are a PROFESSIONAL✨! Can you do a video on fixatives? And maybe real time drawing tutorials? ^ ^ plsss

Really useful 👍

Great info!

Thanks so useful. I noticed in one of your tutorials that you use a large mounted computer screen. Can you show us this set up?

Thank you 💕

Thank you 👍

Well I use either. Box cutter or a husky... Home Depot or Lowe's has tons.of them. 😊

I start with Nitram hard (blue) then vine ,then willow ,then compress . Though brands vary and have distinct qualities. So much to say

How do you use your charcoal powder for your portrait drawings?

Dude came from ur ig keep doing this u are going to be great one day

Oooooooo i like

🖤 you are so awesome

@madcharcoal are you concerned at all about the charcoal dust from a health perspective? What do you do to ensure you’re not inhaling?

W.T.F...?? THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I SHARPEN MY PENCILS ✏️ COLORED & REGULAR, WITH A RAZOR BLADE. MY GIRLFRIEND ALWAYS LOOKS AT ME LIKE IM CRAZY..... SHE SAID WHY DONT YOU USE SHARPENERS...?? I JUST NEVER LIKED THE OUTCOME WHEN USING THEM. TO BASICALLY UNIFORM. GREAT VIDEO 😁👌

🤩

I want to start charcoal drawing. Which tool or what type of coal is essential or do i need everything

And which tape to use on drawings and remove easily later on without disturbing the art toi

So many people do not work upright ( perspective ) . I must look closely to see if their perspective is off or I do not adjust mental to using drawing horse or back of chairs.

What was the “sponge” type thing you used for blending? Was it actually like a blending sponge?

Many products have disadvantages or do not serve me well. So I customize them ( lots of things ).

Is there a way to keep PanPastel sponges from disintegrating right away? 😄

What is the sponge you use to make the Smokey bits??

Lyra kneaded eraser is by far the best! I use it on Charcoal, Graphite, Colored pencils, Oil and dry sketching pencils like Red Chalk..Sketching/drawing, no 2 tool in my opinion, with pencil itself be the No1. Then it's the paper too on that very important spot. Fabriano Artistico, Arches Hot pressed both cover all my needs. I wish they made them in Spiral blocks or Sketchbooks, I would buy them in bulks!!! Forgot to mention my favorite pencils and what I 'd suggest to beginners: Kohinoor Red Clalk/ 5340/5347 5.6 lead holders, (they call the Red Chalk "Russet Sepia" on their 5.6mm size), For wooden graphite: Faber Castell Pitt Matt or 9000 , Lead hodlers 2mm TK 9400/TK 4600.with leads from the same brand Pentel Graphgear 500 (0.3mm/0.5mm) with Ain Stein leads. and you're set for life!! PS Those are the BEST in terms of performance and precision. No other comes close, even the way more expensive Rotrings, do not perform that good, as Pentels do ,and they don't last either.

In the image, you show color charcoal blocks. I haven't found too much information on them. Is that something that you like to use?

What’s the difference in working with black pastel powder vs charcoal powder?

Thank you🙏

2:30 “This is the thinner one and this is the thicker one “🤔💣🤯

What’s the type of paper you use?

😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤

I have the chance to get lots /tons of free art supplies yearly.

Please. Speak slowly , distinctly and loudly enough to be understood. Thanks.

I want to know what all were the items in your thumbnail image for this video. It goes by so fast and is interrupted with a commercial so it's hard to make out what you have on your work surface.

I’m glad I kept looking before asking about the materials you use. 😁 you answered the questions I had. Look forward to following 🙏🏽🤍

Great video, thank you very much!
