Real time draw and chat - Border Collie and spaniel in charcoal

In this video, I am working on a commissioned drawing of three dogs. Two spaniels and a Border Collie. I have already completed one spanial and nearly completed the collie to add something visual for the beginning of the video. I then continue to complete the collie and start on the other spaniel. I am working in charcoal on toned paper and all my supplies are listed below.
Meanwhile, I casually talk about the drawing and a few other things happening in life at the moment.
Hope you find some enjoyment in it and thank you for watching. I will be uploading a full timelapse for this drawing too for those who'd like to see the whole process and finished piece...

This was fun! I don't usually watch graphite or charcoal tutorials because I really enjoy colour! That being said, I was amazed how the image of the last spaniel started to appear by just using white charcoal.
I always enjoy your 'musings' - I can relate to what you say about not having a desire to buy new things (electronics, clothes, etc). I've had the same car for 23 years! Love your work! Looking forward to the greyhounds!

I have started enjoying monochrome work more too in recent years alongside the colour work and I also find is satifying the way the subject appears with just the whites. I often find myself half not wanting to add the blacks LOL...

Thank you for all the charcoal tutorials! Started teaching myself charcoals last week and it’s so hard to find any animal tutorials. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[@TmHudsonArt]

Glad you found them useful. I think a lot of the tutorials are people portraits aren't they?

[@knightdragon90]

@@TmHudsonArt yes! I have found a few here and there but I actually think your style and way you work through them has been the best. I haven’t seen anyone add the highlights first but most are using white paper.

Thank you....:)

Thanks for sharing , Toni. It's a shame the camera couldn't close in a bit, to see the charcoal strokes with more clarity. Great trio of dogs nicely crafted on the paper.

I just used my iphone in a phone holder to film this....

Hi, do you use fixative on your completed pieces?

[@TmHudsonArt]

No…it would dull the whites.
