JRR Tolkien Charcoal Portrait and a Few Random Drawing Tips 

Tracing on a paper sheet over a computer monitor, I would have never thought about that. Your art is impressive, keep uploading videos.

Charcoal and pastels are the only art ideas for paper I struggle to do but paper and pen I can do! I will say however that I have learned a lot just by this video and I will try some more down this charcoal art!

Your work always amazed me 🫡

Very weil done, love it. Thanks for sharing. 👍☝🏻😍

Impressive, great portrait, great tutorial and I've appreciated your explanation on the materials you use and why you do. Hope you're as good at taking compliments because this is a mighty fine piece of work you've shared with us. Thank you.

I STARTED TRACING BUT NOW I CAN DO FREESTYLE OH YEAH ART!!!

Oh. And your voiceovers are so meaningful relative to the piece.

I love all your videos. I'm retired now since 3 months, and I'm going back to the drawing table. I'll be a patreon by the end of the month, to learn more 😎

Perfektno 😊

so nice 😍

I don't have wrinkles. It's just the illusion of texture. :-) Seriously, this is AMAZING! Thank you for generously sharing your talent and tips with us all these years. I was wondering if you could answer 2 questions for me.... 1. I never knew you could layer color pencils on top of charcoal. Are you using wax-based? Can you put charcoal on top of color pencils as well? 2. Do you spray your charcoal artworks with a fixative for commissions? I was just about to start a portrait of a white bulldog in graphite, but I'm going to use charcoal instead after seeing this. I'm wondering if I should spray it because I intend to frame it and give it to a friend. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your tutorials are among the absolute best on YT. They are detailed and up close with no distracting music, text flying across they screen.

Tracing!! I have resisted it, but after your explanation I will try it. ( have used grid for many years, like 75 years😂) The transfer of the traced image to the drawing paper is something I don't understand. Do you put graphite on the transfer side or how do you do this? I have only tried charcoal a few times (to messy) but I think, after watching several of your works, I am going to spend more time with it. Love to watch and listen to you explain things.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So enjoyed this.. can you tell me what paper you use? 👍🏻

How do you store tour artwork so it doesn't smudge?

Your work always amazed me 🫡
