“Its important that you learn the rules and you understand how to do something properly before you break the rules, otherwise you’re just ignorant and not skilled” that is so real. I love that sentence.
I am trying to teach myself to draw with charcoal and.... I don't understand how you do this so beautifully. Of course I still have no idea wtf I am doing which is why I am here watching you!
Its funny that you squint. I have terrible vision and will purposely forgo getting glasses because it is easier to draw and not get hung up on the detail. The form and lighting are all that I train my eyes to see.
Me encanto el vídeo ,la verdad me has ayudado mucho con tus consejos y estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo la disciplina es lo único que nos hace buenos en todo lo que hagamos,la clara muestra de ello es que nos muestras un trabajo de calidad,se nota la disciplina y el gusto por tus pinturas por ello son preciosas, gracias por compartir no solo tu trabajo sino también tus buenos consejos
When drawing eyes, I don't draw the iris. Instead, I draw the white part as an abstract shape, paying close attention to the angles. This effectively draws the iris for you.
Excellent thankyou for sharing…Can i ask, why doesn’t my kneading eraser lift the charcoal as cleanly and as sharply as yours? It always needs multiple passes to lift unsatisfactory…Its a good brand eraser. Cheers
I think its all about blending first, so you get rid of the excessive material you have on paper and therefore you can extract the charcoal way easier. Im new in drawing with charcoal and have the same problem as you, but as Mad Charcoal says, getting rid of the fear of “destroying” a perfect streak, line, drawing or whatever, gives you a lot of freedom and it translates perfectly into this problem. The more i draw the more confident i am on “fucking up” a cool drawing and exalting the lights and shadows i see; its like you can never draw, blend or erase too much. If this doesn’t help you may be pressing too much into the paper, so its harder to pull it away. Hope this helps and happy holidays!
I would watch these and never thought you used a reference. So I’m sitting here like… damn, this dude’s mental imagery is A1. Nonetheless still amazing work. Subscribed
Throughout all you videos you've always mentioned the importance of focusing on the VALUES..i think we get the gist and understand what you are trying to convey-but can you please make a video masterclass focusing on VALUES 🙏 thanks Josh, really learnt a lot from you!
If i want to do charcoal on a canvas and make sure the charcoal doesn’t smear once done, do you recommend I use a spray to keep it in place? I have to figure the name of the spray out but it’s suppose to make it stick.

“Its important that you learn the rules and you understand how to do something properly before you break the rules, otherwise you’re just ignorant and not skilled” that is so real. I love that sentence.
And when you hit 50 you won’t even have to squint😂😂😂
Yeah, man! Learn to love your cataracts.
yeah, I love it! The style and vibe you put into the drawings are just gorgeous. also your voice is nice

Very helpful video that I found reassuring in terms of technique and also importance of learning to draw. Charcoal is great fun. Thanks
Spiel. Such a funny word.

Génial, j'adore ce que vous faites, les rendus au charbon sont sublimes.
