      He has tons of RUclips videos and he’s such a good teacher you’ll find yourself being successful! Joining his Enjoying Art Patreon has helped me even more. He has hundreds of demos, SO much useful material.

      Idk people say i look bored
      usually when im pretty happy
      so don't pay too much attention to external looks

      @EuphemiaGrubb 7 лет назад +25

      Giovanni Tyre - Agreed, I'm the same. Also, the students are at that age where they look as if they couldn't give a damn but they really are interested. (Honest!)

      That’s the magic of vine/willow charcoal.
      You can turn an absolute mess into a masterpiece by constant adjustment and experimentation because it flows, moves, rubs and erases fairly effortlessly. It gives you a bit more room to play without total permanency. It’s the absolute best medium for loosening up, surrendering all control and feeling a bit more free and expressive.

  • @JadeLeaf1980
    @JadeLeaf1980 5 лет назад +2

    I’m so glad to find these videos.
    I feel like you’re simplifying everything so many other drawing instructors overcomplicate and over-explain with too many lines and rules for a beginner to absorb all at once.
    This was easy to absorb and I don’t feel too overwhelmed and weighed down with details (some videos by others are so overwhelming that I get to the point that by the time I get to the paper to draw I can’t remember what was explained 😂).
    You made it fast and simple and made me want to pick my charcoal up immediately and draw. ❤️
