Lovely work Jeff. Do you have any favourite reference photo websites you like to use? Apart from this model?

Do you use vine or willow charcoal? Love watching your videos, very helpful and inspiring 😊

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks for watching! I use both, I used to use vine a lot more in the older videos, but I've been using willow a lot more lately.

[@staceygrimes4107]

I love your videos and process!! ❤️
The very first tool/medium that you begin the sketch with, is that a holder of sorts?, or just vine charcoal?

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks again Stacey! It's just a pencil holder holding a stick of the natural charcoal. I usually wrap a bit of masking tape around it to make it fit :)

[@staceygrimes4107]

@@JeffHainesArt thank you

[@proffesser_s8403]

Where do you find your reference photos?

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks for watching. This one is a model that I know online, some pics I take myself, and others I find on image sharing sites.
