[@pac9494]

Pure genius David. Thank you for sharing. As someone who is constantly learning I can tell you that this short video tutorial was immensely useful. Thank you.

[@TheEggman51]

Amazingly cool -- how that eye comes to life!!

[@southernprim]

amazing... you make it look so easy..

[@judithloganart8794]

Awesome! Inspired to me to do more life drawing and studies. My artwork is more folk art, renaissance /medieval style (bit of a hodge podge, I know!) but I used to love life drawing!! I really want to get back to it after this. I love your work.. And have never seen any artist use binoculars like this! Will maybe give it a try! Thanks for posting!

[@joycewalbert1413]

This is just amazing!

[@charos8984]

Amazing. u're genius men.

[@ervinavideoblogs]

great stuff!

[@geo4950]

thank you for sharing !

[@palstikup]

The eyes, the most beautiful

[@lDhalisml]

Me likey! This method is interesting, it reminds me of the subtractive method on white paper, where you do a strong line drawing with charcoal and then you use a piece of paper to smear the lines and tone the paper slightly, going back to darken the lines you need to darken, rinse and repeat until you build a good middle tone and then subtract the light mass. I find it interesting because in art school they tell us never to mix the charcoal with the white pencil.

[@rovagrafx]

Yes, he is using binoculars. You can see very clearly what you want to draw. He builds his drawing by using layers of softness and adding to it. Soften, add, soften, add. It creates such depth in his drawings.

[@mariver2592]

what kind of toned paper is that? it's very beautiful for my artworks if I use it too

[@2615reyogs]

more than cool David :) thanks a lot , you solved my queries !! Luv n Peace :)

[@josemonje6363]

thank you David !

Es excepcional!

[@lynnleonanderson6032]

Great drawings

[@samirbarai3547]

Really nice.

[@suntan8573]

The tissue wipe is something I realize and uses. In addition to your demo. All (B/W)pencils have a time and place for use.

[@timumifromhell2531]

excelente1!!

[@riyadrahman9844]

''draw the eye without drawing the eye '' ! thanks for the video

[@pommeoregan]

golden rule
dont rush things

[@claudiafinelle7252]

Fantastic video,thank you. What a great ide to use binoculars to get "up close" to the model. Wait! you were using grafitti back in 2011? Im just thinking NOW in 2019 to incorporate grafitti into my pieces. Darn! and I thought I was being edgy.

[@hlobna20]

amazing..

[@beanstaIkjack]

Amazing

[@jacoposavoia4640]

great thanks

[@shuvoDhar.5537]

Very nice👍👍

[@jonasribeiro6507]

awesome technique,really appreciate you sharing this.as a arts student I hope you can answer a question for me.At the beginning what did you use to sketch the eye and the head?it looks like some kind of paint, but at the same time you could erase it, so i dont think it was acrylic. thanks in advance and the all the best to you!

[@Engelhafen]

what is that on your pallette knife that you were sketching with in the beginning?

[@juanlambda27]

Hi David, What kind of paper do you use? It seems to stand up pretty well under all the smearing, erasing, and mark-making.
Interesting…I was taught to never mix the white and black charcoal for fear that the universe might end but you seem to not mind it at all

[@jetsonjoe]

which binoculars are you using to look at the model?

[@mickomicko1234]

what kind of paper is that?

[@qittat]

wonderful

[@trackdrifter6031]

What brand of pencils and type of paper are you using here, please? Thank you!

[@MrJacknugget]

Always follow you, congratulations and thanks:) Giacomo

[@littleoinck]

yeah that's really cool!!

[@phlegm.]

... do the models sit there until the drawing is finished or

[@farmerfox3332]

I am only 3 mins in....but do you mention what you are looking into as you observe the model? Are those binoculars? Good video so far I have already learned something new. Thank you.

[@magdalammerinks]

What exactly is this lens you are looking through, at your subject?

[@icwsi]

beautiful.. what do you using for draw?

[@dhanushrande1275]

in charcoal painting which white pencile you prefer??? which merge easyly in charcoal.... :D is it white luna pencil???

[@Psypomp]

Awesome! Is that a palette knife wrapped in chamois?

[@chazman76]

Hi , I was just wondering what the blue tool you use to block with is called . And you use charcoal pencils ?

[@outthere09]

Hi, what is that flat tool you use to lay in the dark tones around the eye in the start of the video?

[@karmazon]

Does he keep looking at the model through binoculars?

[@barbrakoenig5126]

please tell me what that long piece with fabric on the end that you use to draw with is. I am amazed at how wonderful it gets the job done. Please share with us.

[@barbrakoenig5126]

DAVID KASSAN IS BRILLIANT

[@ddiba3]

you inspire me... thumbs up from who ever agrees

[@diegoherceban]

[@buendia781]

[@1pairfatchopsticks]

Spying on the neighbours with binoculars at the same time? That's what I call multi-tasking!

[@raguvaART]

Can someone tell me what kind of sheet is it ?

[@Mrcodenamejag]

[@mmedeuxchevaux]

I wish you could tell us in the descriptions what materials you used.
