How to Add Layers in Charcoal Drawing?

  • Compressed charcoal is way denser than vine charcoal, and gives richer darks and sharper contrast as a result. Using it on top of a layer of vine charcoal is a bit tricky though, which is what I demonstrate in this video.

    The masterful understanding of light and contrast by the artist is nothing short of spectacular! This is a Master at work.

    What we are seeing is the exemplary skill of an artist who knows his craft. Being an artist, I just sat and enjoyed the ride.
    P.s. the music from Desert Planet was amazing as well.

    As far as drawing is concerned it appears to me that charcoal will result in drawings with the most depth without having to overwork the areas where you want the most contrast, I need to try a charcoal drawing it takes a while to flatten solid black forms with lead. This drawing is excellent the light source focusing just behind her eye is very interesting, the piece would be completely different if the light was moved forward an inch or even half an inch. Great job!

    • @JadeLeaf1980
      @JadeLeaf1980 Před 3 měsíci +1

      It’s vine/willow charcoal - it’s very soft delicate charcoal and it doesn’t stick to the paper very well, it creates a layer of velvety dark dust that just sits lightly on the paper surface and it can be swept away or erased with rubber or kneadable erasers or tissues, fingers, brushes, etc. It’s super easy to manipulate and one of the fastest mediums to work with.

      @@EhsanMalekiArt I agree, practice is good with newsprint. I had tried arches hot press 100% cotton water colour paper but even vine charcoal leaves a stain so you can’t lift a bright highlight. Mad Charcoal YT uses arches bfk rives a print cotton rag. I have a piece I’ll try out to see how well vine lifts. At the end of the day I’ll probably end up going darker across all values and the highlights won’t be original paper white but the lightest tone left behind by the vine charcoal.

      @@AT-ol2yj First layer is done by vine charcoal and then he moves to compressed charcoal and charcoal pencil for darkening areas. That's what it seems to me. I have never seen people using fixative on charcoal drawing before it's finished. Do you have some example of that? I'd like to see how charcoal works when drawn over fixative.

    Short answer: to add layers in charcoal, mist it lightly with fixative, wait a minute, keep drawing.

      Better answer: spray a mist of alcohol. It’ll allow more pigment to be placed without gluing down the previous layer
