    I was always taught that art is about choices. And the issue with so many aspiring artists is the fear of mistakes. You are so fluid and fearless in your decisions and remove this fear from amateurs like myself. Much love for inspiring and helping others ❤

      This! It's all about overcoming that fear and taking risk 🖤

      I totally agree. I am an abstract artist, so the perspective of "there are no mistakes" comes very natural to me, but my brother for example is a very rational mathematician. So last time he visited me I gave him a canvas and made him paint something, because I knew it would mentally benefit him even if he is not interested in art. He started of VERY SHY saying things like "yea but i don't have any idea, i dont know what to paint" and things like that. and after supporting him a bit and trying to make him understand that he doesn't need to have an idea about what to paint, but instead JUST PAINT, just enjoy the feeling of using paint as a tool to interact with the canvas, only then he truly started to understand what art can be about and he even said afterwards that it was a valuable exercise, because his brain NEVER thinks this way usually. it is not about the outcome, it's about the process.

    There are a lot of art RUclipsrs that don't explain the process well or act like utter fools, and I think that you are one of the people that definitely does neither of these things. I don't think I have ever seen a better explained video or more creative but still put together art before in my life.
    Thank you for the vid!

    I had charcoal laying around at home for a while now but always struggled working with it. Watched this one video and now I do portraits that are so lively. Surely not as good as yours, but this video really helped me elevate my drawing. Thank you so much!

    I focus on pencil drawings with a bit of charcoal for extra “pop” but your descriptions of value and how to use them before even thinking of refining the details def applies to creating art in any media --you covered lots of valuable territory in a short amount of time with clarity of purpose--well done, Sir.

    After years of drawing charcoal/graphite portraits I realized I just wasn’t enjoying it anymore; it felt tedious and I found myself becoming bored before I could finish. Then about 3 years ago I found your channel and a lightbulb went off, I felt like I had been given permission to throw all those “rules” out the window and loosen up. I realized I liked my 20 minute drawings way more than my 20 hour drawings. My icon was actually the first time I just threw something down and did a 10 minute exercise with water soluble graphite. It’s not a piece of art but a reminder of how much I enjoyed it. So thank you for sharing your work and inspiration.

    Cool tips love your broad style ! 👍🏻 i use 1200 - 1400 grade lining paper for my work (mainly figurative) I have to iron it out first though to get it flat once its off the roll. I also use cheap hairspray to lock the charcoal in once it's finished so it smells nice too ! 😁

Also, there are charcoal artists who make their work look photo realistic. I find that to be lovely, but anyone can take a photo and turn it black and white. You really have the artistic flare. P. S. Was that your signature at the end? Is that morris code? Kidding aside, I appreciate your lesson! 🙏🏽❤️
