  • In this charcoal pencil tutorial, I show you how to draw a simple still life suitable for beginners.
    ** Materials Used in This Lesson **
    - Pencils: Dark/black charcoal pencil (best to have a couple to work between) and a white charcoal pencil.
    - Paper: any mid-toned drawing paper (I use a mid-grey but a mid-blue, green or tan would work too). I use a paper by Strathmore.
    - Other: a bending stump, craft knife, sanding block (or piece of sandpaper).
    - Online photo editor: I mention this in the video for those that don't have a Mac, iPad or photo software. Go here: pixlr.com/x/

    You are one of a very, very few artists on YT who actually starts with the construction drawing. Most have already traced it or use the grid method. I love these. They are so helpful.

    Your method of placing pieces on paper with squares & circles I foundinviting so on a grey page I did the drawing, really enjoyed it & on stepping back realised the paper was way too small for the piece, so this afternoon re started it on a larger sheet. Am hoping to start charcoaling it soon. Your teaching method is for me very understandable. Thanks for making it so easy.
    Have nearly finished this exercise finding it a super exercise! Thanks.

    I actually looking for digital drawing tutorial but this one is really helpful! I’m new to charcoal drawing and never thought the white charcoal as highlight. The other tutorial only use eraser. Is is because the colored paper? Thank you

    • @SmillyDonut
      @SmillyDonut 2 года назад

      The toned paper would allow for the white charcoal to create highlights on the paper. With white paper you're more likely to pull back highlights with an eraser.
