I was thinking the same thing as well! I just found his videos this morning and I sat here with my jaw on the floor like a kid staring through the candy shop window!! I never got a chance to have any art training other than what basics I had in high school. Now, all I know is what these wonderful tutorials have taught me. His White Tiger just blew me away! Where are all the millions of subscribers? I will be sharing his beautiful creations!! 11:20 a.m. EST. US
Thank you for admitting some of the struggles you have. I am exactly like you I can do the animals, but struggle with the background. Love this artwork! Thank you for sharing!
Oh WOW, brilliant video. Just found you, but have learnt so much already. Love the idea of an airbrush. Luckily I have one, but it's not used much. That might change now.
Ridiculously informative! I am super appreciative of your channel Daniel ❤ Stunning art. Is there anything in your process that can't be taught? Looking at some of those beautiful long sweeping lines - so skillfully done.
love to see more airbrush technique over charcoal. just ordered my first airbrush kit today because of this video. charcoal has become my most favorite medium. you opened something new with the airbrush and i cant wait to learn and try adding the darker darks to my pieces. thank you for sharing this wonderful insight. please if you would share a little more indepth on adding the airbrush work to charcoal. thank you🎉.
Thanks so much. This is very interesting especially the idea of a focus point. Somehow I managed to discover the long fur being made up of layers of shorter fur. I’ve never used an air brush. Something exciting to try.
Nice video and your work turned out great! I’ve used the airbrush in acrylic paintings before I discovered the joys of working with charcoals and also decided to combine them to get deeper shadows. A little bonus is that is also fixates the charcoal to the paper a bit. It works so well! I just wish I had the room to work the same size 😅
MAGNIFIQUE 🤩 Thank you for all of your tips and videos that I only just discover today ! Little question, how long did it take you to complete this one ?
Great tip about the airbrush! Might have to dust mine off, haven’t used it for about 30 years. I wonder if pan pastel would work with charcoal? I think I would get in a mess with the powder!
As always , fantastic work! Your attention to detail is just fantastic and so motivating and inspiring. A little question for you. How do you keep the charcoal to stick to the paper? Recently, I tried a charcoal drawing, and I saw that when I use a soft brush to smooth out a darker value , the powder falls off. Also, I am using a simple charcoal stick. Could it be because of that and not using a charcoal pencil? Thank you for your art!!
It sounds like you are using a very smooth paper and a very soft piece of charcoal, vine or willow charcoal can be removed really easily from the surface, compressed charcoal stick or charcoal pencils are much darker and harder to remove
We went from "challenge yourself", to use a brush, use a putty eraser, use charcoal pencil, use a thin eraser.... You lost me at "muscle memory". I know I'm looking at a 5"x8" image of a 24" x 18" work, so. Choose a focal point. Don't be afraid of the dark. Use an air brush with black paint to blend to dark.
I love your technique and I think I'll watch many of your old videos but I think if you pay too much attention on fur and make wrong proportions it's worse than the opposite. this muzzle and head in 9.54 have something deeply wrong. even if later you have corrected the head the nose is still too long compared to space between the eyes and this is true for any grey wolf. I couldn't do any better at the moment thou
