How to make that charcoal ? 🙏

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Lol, glad it helped Andrea. The powder? Video on that coming soon

[@JamesWilliams-ey5kn]

The greatest

[@sandraperkins203]

I totally agree your an amazing artist. Practice analysis and skill have honed your craft to fine art. No gadgetry or tons of products.

[@emmanuelasante2988]

I always find it difficult to shade portrait but due to your teachings I had really learn a lot from it

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Wow, thanks man. Glad I was helpfully

[@emmanuelonwoh4696]

What grade of charcoal pencil do u recommend using

[@jeriahshield2955]

Wwwooowww it's like charcoal is not included in this one,can I see how you shade the eyes nose and lips,of this very potriat, without adding charcoal

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Would be hard to do but I might try it

[@prabhakaransathasivam6197]

PL let me know the paper brand and size .Wonderful video.. quite useful for me

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

It's Strathmore Bristol Smooth

[@mickimilagro2800]

How are there not more likes, bro you are SO talented!!

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Lol, thanks for the support bro

[@destinysilver]

Hello how are you doing dear I really love to be like you

[@destinysilver]

How are you doing

[@gym.daddy_ghost]

You should try use a different type of sound track, this one made the video boring to watch, otherwise I love your work❤️

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Thanks for the tip

[@emmanuelasante2988]

But the main point is how do I learn more about the grid method of drawing because in every art if don't learn the sketches you can't also make the shading too

[@olivebishop3794]

Show us how you shaded the eyes and the nose and the mouth.
What if you are using charcoal pencil any advice on shading

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

I still have other videos covering how to shade.
And if you were asking how to shade with charcoal, I don't shade with charcoal Pencils. I'd much rather prefer to use the powder instead

[@jmo9502]

When I shade i don’t know where midtones goes any advice anyone?

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Midtones are tricky. Rule of thumb, anywhere that isn't bright for an highlight or dark for shadows is the midtone

[@marifecalanuganicolas7739]

Now, I found the best technique to use of charcoal and graphite. More video please! We're always support your arts and also your Yt channel. I've learned a lot thru your channel.

[@yunusahassan9277]

Thanks for the videos
I must say that your videos have inspired me alot
Infact at first I wasn't good at drawing, I felt bad.
After watching severals of your videos. Thank God for today❤

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

I'm glad you were inspired by my videos. Thank you too 😉

[@reji.a3019]

Thank u...

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

And thank you too, my good friend

[@donamolloartist87]

[@johnthomas274]

What's a commissioned portrait

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

When you draw a client for money💰

[@_Kwadwo-Pencil.Art_]

When u are doing this video u have to show the pencil name and pencil number

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

I'm pretty sure I did exactly that.... 6:30

[@_Kwadwo-Pencil.Art_]

Ok

[@luminous2.023]

Yo next time start from the beginning

[@jeriahshield2955]

I have tried this countless times,and nothing seems to be working 😭😭😭😭 though I use cardboard, can you please tell what paper you used,
I stick to this because it's the most easiest tutorial I can ever find on RUclips, please 🙏

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

I used. Pelican Card, also known as glossy paper

[@samuelogu6364]

Please can you show how to do skinpores.

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

I can't even draw skin pores, will have to practice it before I can actually 'teach' it.

[@nnamdivictor1725]

Hello, you really inspire me. Quick question, the Pencils u use as first touch, are they charcoal or the normal drawing b Pencils.
Good work sir 👏 👍 🙏
Can u coach me😁😁😁

[@artrow25]

🙏

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Hey thanks

[@emmanuelonwoh4696]

Once I watch ur videos I get inspired pls make more and inspire more

[@vickybee4296]

What type of paper do u use

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Strathmore Bristol Smooth or Pelican

[@arthurwashington8559]

Where do I get the reference picture from?

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

This is a commissioned portrait

[@orjichidera6147]

Your works are really great more wizdom💯🙏❤

[@uttamsgowda]

Bro can you tell some techniques to perfect the basic outline?

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

That will be using Grid. I'm yet to make a tutorial on this but watch out that in the coming weeks

[@jeriahshield2955]

I can't stop watching this,time after time, trying to master all stages, trust me when I say, this is the most easiest way to practice shading.
How long does it take you to do this boss, you're really amazing, 👍❤️❤️
How long can I spend to do a very realistic looking drawing

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Start to finish, about 7-9 hours

[@RomainRS-yg2ci]

What kind of charcoal do you use?

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

General's Charcoal

[@lamartalex2416]

Thanks for this tutorial bro very nice🔥

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

You're very welcome.

[@segunali6015]

Wow this really is awesome and I will try it and will like to try it, but I have a question, can white charcoal do the work of white pen

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

It depends. But in a way, maybe. Most people use White gel pens to get "striking white" on any surface. White charcoal cannot get "very white" and it also doesn't work on graphite

[@erictaunton2183]

Enjoyed your video fantastic thank you 👍👍👍👍👍

[@vickyjensen2590]

I don't know how you can work with stubby pencils, I use a pencil extender holder made of metal!

[@allehstephen9566]

Thanks for this 🙏🏻

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Thank you also for the feedback

[@kaptainkermo]

It looks amazing!
But if I constantly shade, then blend, then shade etc will the paper hold?
Beyond some point, wouldn't it wear out and you can no longer further shade or blend?
Hope to get your advice! Thanks!

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

With quality paper, it wouldn't wear out. That is if you use a reasonable amount of pressure. Press hard with the pencil and any paper will crumble in one layer.

[@kaptainkermo]

@@JasonLegendaryArt thankyou so much!! Got it! Thanks 🙏

[@khinggeorge2006]

I love the the way u shade

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Thank you George

[@jeriahshield2955]

You should do more real time.

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

Okay, thanks for the suggestion

[@UgoDraws]

Please how do u position your camera when drawing, are u using a tripod?

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

No I'm not using a tripod. I'll show you a DIY hack I used, privately

[@UgoDraws]

@@JasonLegendaryArt thanks u so much 🙏

[@shadowbsx827]

The grid that you make , do you erase it or it blends itself with the shading ?

[@JasonLegendaryArt]

I've learnt to erase it very early on. I've always thought it'll blend but it doesn't, especially for light skin.

[@catherinechristopher5926]

Brother your good at all

[@artworkby_sconzy5750]
