After viewing a few of your ( excellent) videos, I get the impression that you have ear, nose and throat issues. Have you considered that you might be inhaling dust from your art materials?
Hi Josh, thank you for your video, I have a few questions, Which Strathmore paper are the bright white not creamy white? Archival ofc Also, do you recommend the Strathmore 500 series 18" x 24" and is it bright white or creamy? As for charcoal pencils, I noticed some are tend to go brown colored not pure black, which charcoal pencils do you recommend for fine detailed artwork? Nitram charcoals? General Primo charcoal or carbon I am not sure Have you tried the primo pencils? Are they good for fine detailed art? Thank you ❤
Have you ever used Nitram batons? Why or why not? I too would love to see figure drawings. Love your work. Binge watching all your vids tonite. I think I am going to love charcoal. Just ordered supplies.
You mentioned you don't use that powdered charcoal much because you use pan pastel instead. I've never used either and they seem very similar. What's the difference?
Personally, I think a cheap one is good for practice. Sometimes I even use print paper and it works fine with charcoal, I mean just for practice though.
just use whtever kind of paper u have don’t bother bout paper quality when u practice.. personally i use willow charcoal for practice bcoz general’s is pretty expensive charcoal (for me tho) i only use it when i get serious work 😅
For practice drawing/sketching, there are many papers that are decent quality. Some are: Canson 1557 (160gr or 180gr), Canson Mix Media. Daler Rowney Heavyweight Fine Grain 200gr,or Smooth 220gr. Talens makes an inexpensive 250gr Mixed media Art creation. Are some of the best options for either practice or beginners. For professional work or simply if money isn't an issue, then Arches Hot Pressed for Graphite/Charcoal or any dry or wet medium,even though for watercolors, I'd choose their Cold pressed version. Then Fabriano Artistico, is my 2nd favorite and the one I use for classic sketching or whenever I need a slightly cream or Ivory tone, the cotton makes wonders and a ton of a difference, on everything!!!
compressed charcoal powder is less controllable compared to pan pastel and it also erasable pretty much so going pan pastel is best choice , but it’s all depend on ur preference and ur wallet also , panpastel has decent price range if i skip my 2day’s lunch and dinner i’m probably able to afford it 😂😂😂
Great Video ,Thank You for paying such an amazing gift forward to all of us..one question are the foam pads the same as used for make up application,and where do I find them,me and your video and Mr.Wolf are gonna spend a few hours together this weekend,but I must get some foam pads...can't wait to get started..
Hey there! Thanks a lot for this information man. Could you tell me what size is that kind of knife with a foam tip (I have not idea of its name) because I've seen more than one size on Amazon. Which one is the one you show here? What size? Thank you very much once again. 👍
its a regular size i think knife size - 6.7 x 0.4" and cover size - each 1 x 0.5 approx m not sure u will get the idea which one u have to buy from this
@@johanvanniekerk6945 haha im sorry people doesn’t watch old videos , i was checking out his material list bcoz i was in the shop that time, buying some materials for myself😅 usually i just buy general’s and paper 🗿 im addicted to strathmore 400 series drawing paper😩 its too good (my wallet 🥲)
I love your art work and your gift in art but your camera skills leave a lot to be desired, I felt almost sick because you were bouncing all over the place, still I love your videos.
